"Three Strands has taken houses that have been open to vagrants and illegal activity and renovated them so people want to live in them. "They have really helped revitalize Venable Street, which is so important to Union Hill," she said. "They took a shot at Venable when no one else would." Those efforts are the reason the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods will honor Three Strands next month with its Andrew Asch Historic Developer Award. The award, named for the man who led the renovation of Shockoe Slip in the 1970s, is part of ACORN's ninth annual Golden Hammer Awards on Oct. 7. </blockquote> The RTD has a look at what Three Strands has done for the neighborhood:

I think I was at their meeting when someone revealed the research showing it was there. Anyway, glad to see the burial ground and those working to preserve it honored!

She has done a great job at keeping the Burial Ground from going further under. Check out her amazing pin hole photos at the Valentine Museum as well. They are beautiful. Shanna Merola rules!
