An accident at Venable and 24th Streets involving a police cruiser and an allegedly “very drunk man” in a minivan left the cruiser wedged against a power pole, the minivan smashed in the middle of 24th, and parts and pieces of both scattered all over the intersection. At the scene, at least one of the elderly residents of the Church Hill House was complaining of being hit by debris from the accident; no word on possible injuries to either of the drivers.

ink for Trask’s paintings

The RTD gives some good coverage to the Ed Trask exhibition @ Eric Schindler Gallery. The show will be up until May 13.

“This is my second one-man show of Ed’s work,” says gallery owner Kirsten Gray. “I had one in 2006, and it nearly sold out. This is even better. It’s my favorite body of work he’s put together.”

Chimbo playground focus group notes

The shiny new Friends of Chimborazo Playground site has notes from the focus group meeting last night at St. John’s to discuss the redesign of Chimborazo Playground. With a budget of $250,000, the redesign is aimed at ameliorating some of the problems facing the park now, and to “address crime, safety and health issues and provide a beautiful place for community members of all ages to play, gather and enjoy by encouraging community involvement in the care of our historic park.”

why that church does not have a steeple

Hurricane Hazel, the only recorded Category 4 hurricane to make landfall as far north as North Carolina, was the worst hurricane of the 1954 Atlantic hurricane season and one of the worst hurricanes of the 20th century. The storm hit Richmond on October 15, 1954, with 79 mile-an-hour winds that bent the steeple of the Trinity Methodist Church on East Broad Street.

still a strong NO to Echo Harbor

In advance of the RTD’s Public Square on the James River, the Church Hill Association has reconfirmed its position with regard to Echo Harbor:

The developers are proposing 250 condominium units to be built in two 350’ wide buildings, (in a stair-step configuration), separated by a 275’ view corridor. These structures are to be placed atop a 3 level of parking garage, all of which would be setback 50’ from the river. Following the Q&A session …a motion was made, seconded, and universally approved. It stated: “The Church Hill Association opposes the development as proposed and recommends no rezoning other than RF-1 with its 60 foot height limit.”

May 2, 2008
