how was Halloween?

We’ve heard of a few cases of vandalism and broken windows towards Chimborazo. Fairmount had so many kids going door-to-door (in costume, even) that we ran out of candy.

Katherine McGinn @ Eric Schindler Gallery

Style Weekly reviews Katherine McGinn’s show at the Eric Schindler Gallery, saying that her “painting and printing on thin papers, sometimes of her own making, straddle two worlds. One is made of ethereal imagery buoyed by translucent inks and delicate pencil marks. The other world, often existing within the same frame, is a suggestion of damp earth and botanical forms rendered in greens and rusts.”

they saw this one coming

The RTD has a long look at how the extended involvement of 2 officers from Sector 113, Jon Bridges and Greg Nienow, helped prevent last week’s stabbing suspect (and East End resident) Johnny Hughes from possessing the guns that he so desperately wanted.

a better exhibit is all around you

chimborazo_map.jpg

We went to check out the exhibit celebrating 50 years of City Old and Historic districts at the Virginia Center for Architecture, and it is really anticlimatic. As this was billed as “a pictorial exhibit highlighting 50 years of preservation of Richmond’s historic properties and neighborhoods”, I was expecting some dramatic before and after photos. The exhibit itself mainly consists of blow-ups of pages from the Richmond Old and Historic Districts Handbook and Design Review Guidelines (PDF), though.

Church Hill Dog Park

It’s official: the nascent doggy park for Chimborazo will be called the Church Hill Dog Park. There were a lot of creative suggestions but none of them struck the committee as “The Name.” Now that this has been set, the CHDP committee is seeking help with fundraising, especially targeting the next 2 months. Interested in hosting or organizing a fundraiser? Contact the CHDP committee at chimbodogs@hotmail.com.
