It sort of puts the previous post in perspective…I have been fascinated by the now-online archives of Richmond newspapers. Most of the stories I have read so far that mention Oregon Hill are about dogs, smallpox, and violence, but there are also beautiful descriptions of the neighborhood that could easily apply to today.
Do yourself a favor and search and read through them sometime. I will be sure to be including more Hill history now that these are available.
I was expecting something considerably less user-friendly from an online archive. This is great. Nice find.
