Restaurant Adarra, which currently serves Basque cuisine in the historic Jackson Ward neighborhood, has evidently announced they will be moving into the former Mamma Zu’s building at 501 S. Pine Street.
CobbleStore Vintage store has announced that they are throwing their first vintage market:
We’re teaming up with Smashed RVA and Last Pick Vintage to bring you a vintage market with a Good Burger themed menu from Smashed RVA to celebrate Small Business Saturday! That’s right! A menu based off the 1990’s cult classic movie Good Burger. Mondo Burgers, Ed Sauce, Orange Soda, the whole deal. Really excited to see what Smashed RVA comes up with. Vegan option will be available!
There will be 7 different vendors with handmade jewelry, hot sauce, women’s vintage, vintage military, and much more.
The event will take place in the parking lot directly next to CobbleStore Vintage located at 324 S Pine St, Richmond VA 23223 and will run from 12PM to 5PM. We will have some tables set up so you can hang out and eat between shopping with the vendors. Please share this event with friends!
It’s been a busy fall season here in the neighborhood. Many of us enjoyed the Halloween parade and the Richmond Marathon, and now we look ahead to the holidays.
While we had a relatively quiet Election Day, not all of us have been unscathed. A thunderstorm recently lead to a porch collapse on Pine Street.
Coming up, Recycling and November OHNA meeting and election of officers.
With Vinyl Conflict record store moving downtown, CobbleStore Vintage, which sells new and pre-owned vintage clothing, is taking its place on Pine Street. Clem from CobbleStore has announced the storefront’s grand opening for August 5th.
A recent storm resulted in a big branch down on the 500 block of S. Pine Street. It also left a black mark on the tree where lightning had struck.
Beware of more storm tomorrow.
A house fire broke out around 4 am on Saturday morning. Police and fire department responded. Thankfully, no one was injured.
A new campaign?
And then in Monroe Park…
This past week, RichmondBizsense.com reported that Vinyl Conflict record store is moving out of 324 S. Pine St., where it first opened in 2008, and plans to reopen at 300 E. Grace St. in early June.
Owner Bobby Egger said he was driven to end the shop’s 14-year run on Pine Street by the need for a larger space in a more commercial-oriented part of town.
In a comment on the Oregon Hill Community FaceBook page, Egger said “To call it bittersweet to leave the building is an understatement.”
Certainly neighbors wish Vinyl Conflict more success and are glad that Egger and his wife continue to live in the Oregon Hill.
A previous article on RichmondBizsense.com reported that the owners of oddities shop Rest in Pieces, purchased that store’s location at 349 S. Laurel St.
Justin Torone and Alaina Gearhart paid $675,000 to buy the building from their landlord Nolen Blackwood in a deal that was recorded with the city in mid-March, according to online property records.
