Sponsor a summer movie in Chimborazo Park

Interested in helping sponsor a move in Chimborazo Park? Let’em know at friendsofchimborazo@gmail.com:

Last summer, Friends of Chimborazo Park was able to partner with Yellow House to put on 4 family movie nights in Chimborazo Park (showing Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Goonies, Money Pit, and Casablanca). We are working on scheduling between 4 and 5 films this year, but in order to make that happen, we need sponsorships to cover the licensing cost of showing these films in a public venue. For older films, licensing tends to run between $150 and $200 depending on the film being shown.

The hidden Chimborazo beer vaults

beer_vault

Selden Richardson has put up a nice piece on the hidden beer vaults of Chimborazo Park over at The Shockoe Examiner:

Many Richmonders have probably heard of the “beer vaults” that are somewhere under the park, but few know of their history or how extensive they are. A pencil and ink plan from the City Engineer’s office records in the archives of the Library of Virginia shows the position of the vaults and describes their considerable dimensions: six chambers, ranging from 30 to 60 feet long and arranged in a “L” pattern. The vaulted ceilings are approximately twenty feet tall. Considering a GRTC bus is about forty feet long, the large scale of these underground rooms is truly impressive.

The Ghosts of Chimborazo

Elizabeth Bissette will be hosting a Ghost Hunting workshop at Chimborazo Park this Friday, August 7 from 6-8PM:

The Ghost Hunting workshops are back and this time we’re going to visit Chimborazo, possibly the most ill-fated site in Richmond.

Here Native Americans aligned forces with Colonists against the Brittish and were slaughtered in what became known as the Bloody Run Massacre. A century later, the site was used for the largest tent-hospital in the Civil War. The Church Hill Tunnel, which we visited last time, runs through the hill as well.
