Paul’s Place – A Delight For The Antique Shopper

A while back I received an email that something to the effect of:  “Your website is great.  It would be even better if it had a review of our store.”  Since I absolutely love those kinds of emails (they mean people are reading and that they like the site enough to want to be on it – WOOT!) I responded that I would be happy to. Little... [Read more of this review]

An Interview with Reggie Pace of NO BS! Brass and More

I recently had the opportunity to meet up with local musician Reginald Pace, co-founder of NO BS! Brass and a fellow who is involved in a staggering number of creative projects.  He was kind enough to meet me at Kuba Kuba, a favorite that I was SURE I’d reviewed before, but guess I haven’t.  It’s awesome.  You should go there. Back... [Read more of this review]

Good Foods Grocery

For the last 25 years, Good Foods Grocery has provided healthy food, vitamins, and products to the Richmond community.  They have locations in the West End (at Gayton Crossing) and the Southside (at Stony Point), though I’ve only been to the one in the West End. It’s a spacious store – much more than you would expect given its location... [Read more of this review]

Leete Tire & Auto

I used to work on First and Cary Streets, and during that period of my life I probably got about a flat tire per week.  Seriously.  I don’t know if it was because of where I lived (Church Hill around a LOT of construction) or if someone was playing a big prank on me, but I had a nail in one of my tires every time I turned around.  Luckily for... [Read more of this review]

Keep Cool at the Carytown Watermelon Festival

As you know, the Carytown Watermelon Festival is coming up on August 8th.  If the last few months have been any indication, it will likely be hotter than the hinges and you’ll be really wanting something to cool you off.  Well, you’re in luck.  Breyers (yes, the ice cream people) will be GIVING AWAY FREE ICE CREAM . That’s right. ... [Read more of this review]

Call of the Wild – Riverside Outfitters

Local roving reporter Jason Moreau recently interviewed Matt Perry – owner of Riverside Outfitters – for your reading pleasure.  Read this interview and tell me you don’t want to go to the river right NOW.  I know I do. As someone who didn’t grow up in Richmond, one of the first things that impressed me about the region was the... [Read more of this review]

Short Pump – Richmond’s “Frontier”

When one thinks of the frontier, the first images that come to mind are cowboys and saloons, gunfights and gold prospectors.  While these are all amusing to imagine, you aren’t likely to find them in Short Pump.  Now considered the far West End of Richmond, this area has long served as the wild west of the more “civilized” city to the east. ... [Read more of this review]

The Richmond SPCA – Every Life is Precious

Working with homeless and abused animals can be a difficult job.  The sheer number of four-legged orphans in Richmond and the surround area is staggering.  So it is with much pride that we boast an organization that is dedicated to the preservation and protection of our furry companions; without whom our own humanity might be less evolved.  The Richmond... [Read more of this review]

Locally Grown Richmond

So I saw that movie, Food Inc., and it really made me think about chicken.  It made me think of a lot of other things, too, but that image of the steroid-pumped chicken gasping for air made me a real believer in NOT buying mass-market chicken.  Or mass-market anything, for that matter.  Lucky for me there are all these farmer’s markets in Richmond. farmers... [Read more of this review]

Caffespresso – Old World on Gaskins Road

So, I was at my chiropractor’s office one day early in the year, and he said, “Do you drink coffee?  Because there is a really great coffee shop right next door.”  I don’t, as it turns out, drink coffee.  Never really have.  I’m pretty hyper as it is.  But I went over there anyway, because there was a delicious, decidedly... [Read more of this review]

Events at Art 6 – 2nd Annual Holocaust Remembrance Exhibit

The 2nd Annual Holocaust Remembrance Exhibit opened at Art 6 on May 7, 2010.  Though Yom Hashoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – fell on April 11 this year, the month of May has been designated Holocaust Remembrance Month at Art 6, and the exhibit will run through the end of the month. Art 6, a gallery at 6 East Broad Street in Downtown Richmond,... [Read more of this review]

The Hill Cafe – A Cool Place in A Cool Neighborhood

I’ve been spending Tuesday evenings in Church Hill.  That’s it.  I’ve confessed.  The neighborhood is my favorite – I rue the day I bought a house in the West End – and in the short time I lived in Church Hill (2001-ish?) I grew to love, love, love The Hill Cafe.  So, with my Tuesday night class getting relocated to... [Read more of this review]
