This past Thursday evening a neighbor on the 600 block of S.Laurel saw 3 juveniles start to boost a bicycle off the front porch of a student house across the street. She bravely told them to put it back and called the police. The would be thieves left before the police could arrest them, but the neighbor’s daughter shared with the police a cell phone video of the incident.
This is the time of year when police see a lot of these type of crimes happening. Please stay alert.
From WRIC:
RICHMOND, VA—A group bicycle ride in memory of Lanie Kruszewski is set for this Sunday.
Monday marks the one year anniversary of the night the 24-year-old was struck and killed while riding her bicycle along River Road.
Elias Webb, the Richmond man convicted of felony hit-and-run in connection with the July 29th wreck, was sentenced in July to three years behind bars. In February, it took a jury of four men and 10 women just less than three hours to reach the verdict.
A group bike ride to remember Kruszewski is set for the evening of Sunday, August 4.
The 14-mile ride will go to the corner of River Road and Bridgeway Road, where a memorial for Kruszweski has been set up.
Riders are asked to meet Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Oregon Hill Outlook where Laurel Street meets the river.

Some neighborhood alleys have been getting redone by City work crews. This one, which bisects the 500 blocks of Cherry, Laurel, Pine, received the smooth gravel treatment this morning.
This quintet of local noise artists opened for the touring Tatsuya Nakatani & Michel Doneda duo at the Nile on Monday night.
Chunksaah Records has re-issued punk singer Tim Barry’s first solo career recordings. It seems fitting, since the rental house he lived in on the 500 block of S. Laurel is now undergoing extensive renovations.
These are the raw sketches of songs that have become fan favorite sing-alongs, where you can first discern his now signature style. It also includes the live recording of Tim singing with the children of the Munford Elementary School in Richmond Virginia. This includes 2 WOODY GUTHRIE songs and is quite in the style and feel of Guthrie’s recordings for children.
Available on Colored Vinyl w/ Digital Download Card, Digipak CD, and Digital Download.
