Laurel Street neighbor Nina Naruszewicz spotted these deer in Hollywood Cemetery.
Drove past six deer just inside the fence at the northwest corner of Hollywood Cemetery on my way home from work today. Sadly by the time I parked and walked back there they had moved further away, so my photos are not the best. I think four were bucks.
This is not the first time we have seen photos of deer in Hollywood…
Found this morning on the sidewalk on Laurel Street…the written part says “Thanks 4 Double Parking”
The funny thing is that it was written on the back of this anti-stress handout…
The RVA Clean City Commission has announced that it is rescheduling the event that was scheduled for this Saturday to the following Saturday.
