Around the ‘Hood

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Scott

City workers have added new street signs to Oregon Hill Parkway’s descent to 2nd Street. I am guessing the ‘yield’ sign at the bottom of the ramp is for bicyclists (who are allowed to go down the street that way). Perhaps there should be ‘No Parking’ signs added?

A cobblestone alley entranceway on the 500 block of S. Pine Street is getting worked on.

A mural has been added on the 600 block of Idlewood, as part of the 2015 Richmond Mural Project. However, this piece, signed by “Jerkface”, looks like it has not been completed yet.

326 S. Pine Street

Posted on March 28, 2015 by Scott

A house that has since been demolished, 326 S. Pine St., was at the location of the Pine St. Baptist Church parking lot on the 300 block of Pine Street. In the first photo, it’s the sliver of a house that is just to the left of the corner pharmacy storefront, which is now Pine Street Barbershop. The overall photo is a panoramic photo of Oregon Hill residents in front of Pine Street Baptist Church, that is currently hung in the William Byrd Community House. As it turns out, the late Senator Benedetti on March 28, 1929 was born at 326 S. Pine St. His father, Carl Vincent Benedetti appears in the city directories at that address from 1926 to 1933. The Senator died last November.
