Found Car Keys On Laurel Street
From Craigslist ad:
This set of keys showed up on the sidewalk in front of my house, and I’d like to get them back to their owner. The keychain also holds other items not included in this photograph. If you can describe them in detail, then they’re all yours.
Missing Richmond Exhibit
Artist Caryl Burtner, an inveterate collector of quotidian objects, here brings us in “Missing Richmond” views of the city and its environs that some newcomers may have never seen. These photographs and memories can be experienced in the Wilton Companies Gallery of UR Downtown — in the former offices of Franklin Federal Savings & Loan. The show is part of the Tucker-Boatwright Festival for Literature and the Arts organized by the Department of Art and Art History, in collaboration with University Museums.
Burtner utilizes antique and contemporary photographs, some of which are enlarged to the size of paintings, and meticulously archived pieces and chips of structures, to display some of the structures that we are now deprived of, and the changing character of standing buildings. The exhibition comes at a full moment of Richmond recollecting its stories.
This includes now ‘missing’ parts of Oregon Hill:

Some things happening tomorrow that might be of interest..

This is a 100% Pure Non-Profit festival. 100% of every purchase made supports that unique mission or parish. There will be culturally diverse entertainment and raffles along with lots of children’s activities, as well as tours of the historic Cathedral that include the museum and crypt.
Admission is FREE and there is convenient parking at the VCU deck
adjacent to the Altria Theatre.
The Gay Community Center of Richmond is hosting the 8th Annual Richmond Zine Fest from 11 am to 5 pm. While it may not be that close to Oregon Hill, it bears mentioning simply because all of the local zinesters (including Throttle writers) who have called the neighborhood home.
I already plugged the Library book drive, there’s a Gellman Room Concert at 2:00 PM- Small Trunk Opera presents “Cox and Box”- an 1866 comic operetta with music by Sir Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert & Sullivan fame.
Finally, there’s this weirdness:
