You can find the 5 main stories from Friday’s edition here, and today features the “ALT 5” stories for a nice, leisurely, “Easy Like Sunday Evening” read. Enjoy!


In today’s edition of “Easy Like Sunday Evening,” we have stories on:

  • The new two-acre green space on Broad Street in front of the Science Museum has opened complete with trees, benches, frogs, and a new public art piece called “Cosmic Perception.”

  • NBC12 went to talk to some of the homeless in Richmond that the city has been negligent in helping, and one 66-year old gentleman had some cogent advice for the Mayor.

  • A teaser tour of the new “Sign Spotting” exhibit at The Valentine with some of the most iconic landmark signage from around Richmond as well as some thought-provoking ones.

  • A young man who was shot and paralyzed used technology and determination and heart to walk across the stage to receive his diploma this week in a story that redefines inspiration.

  • An established local tortilla chip maker opens a new retail home and will celebrate it soon with its 6th Anniversary and new flavors.
