No algorithms. No content filters. Honest and insightful analysis from Richmond, VA.

In this week’s edition, we have stories on:

  • Three words that sum up not just the week but the state of the city…

  • A look at some programs the city can actually undertake to help stem and stop the violence if the political courage exists to do so.

  • The possibility of a new way and new news coming this summer about the new baseball stadium

  • A look at how Richmond’s park system rates in a recent report, and while it can always be better, it rates much better than you might think.

  • History and prose are not often words to describe the bland City Center area, but Ed Slipek pulls it off with a history lesson of the neighborhood (which has had at least eight different names), plus suggestions for the proposed developers looking to revive it.
