Some scenes from the James River Park Master Plan meeting last night at the Virginia War Memorial:
Much of the meeting was spent conversing and viewing and writing on maps… nothing was officially proposed…

Today, the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium Authority met at the VCU East Engineering Hall.
Here’s a video of that meeting:

With clearing skies, yesterday afternoon was a great time for a slow hike on the North Bank Trail. Many bicyclists did the right thing and stayed off the trail after the weekend rain as to not tear things up.
Still some invasive species:
Let this serve as a good reminder for the James RIver Park Master Plan meeting tomorrow night at the Virginia War Memorial.
Fading light in Laurel Street alley:
A crew is scheduled to work today on this water utility problem on the 600 block of S. Laurel. Thankfully, there is no interruption of service expected.
Neighbor and real estate agent Wes Fertig put out this recent Oregon Hill Market Watch report for those that have been interested in selling their home here or moving in. Two other things to mention: Wes Fertig participates in a program that gives real estate rebates and discounts for any employee of Richmond area police department, fire department, sheriff’s office, 911 center, or EMS agency when buying or selling a home with him as the realtor. Secondly, he is OregonHill.net’s newest advertiser!

A little after 10 pm tonight, shooting broke out from a group of young men hanging out the Overlook condominiums at the end of South Laurel Street. It is unclear what exactly lead to the gunfire, but around 10 to 12 shots were fired. Thankfully, there are no reports of injuries, but at least one household reported bullets entering. The young men scattered and drove off in different vehicles.
After neighbors called 911, police arrived and gathered evidence.
For this ‘Throwback Thursday” history post, here’s a great 1911 photo of the corner of S. Pine and China streets. It shows the Grace Arents School, named after the activist, philanthropist and niece of Lewis Ginter who funded its construction. The school building is now used for award-winning Open High School. In fact in 2011, there was a centennial celebration.
Notice the streetcar tracks, which were visible until at least early 1960’s. Many of the tracks still exist today, lying under the modern streets.
This photo was posted in the Visual and Vintage Virginia FaceBook group.
Thanks to a neighbor’s persistence, the City is planning to clean the west side of S. Pine Street this coming Monday after missing in their regular schedule.
Neighbors should make sure to remove their cars from the west side of S. Pine Street (even street numbers) before MONDAY at 8:00am so the street can be cleaned!
