big ass tv
Word is that Richmond Sports Backers will have a Jumbotron set up for watching the progress of the U.S. Open Cycling Championship race tomorrow. If it snows, they’ll be playing Shaun of the Dead…

and ALSO tomorrow… Tricycle Gardens Community Work Day
If the jumbotron freaks you out or whatever, you can join the folks at the Jefferson Avenue garden for a few hours of work and community at the Tricycle Gardens Community Work Day tomorrow (Saturday) from 11AM to 3PM. They will be preparing the garden for spring, finished the roof on the shed, and learning more about gardening, building gardens, and the growing number of gardens in Richmond.
