ROAD & BRIDGES

• The great Forest Hill Ave and Roanoke Street detour is this week. You've been warned.
• This Saturday! The Virginia Credit Union River City Half Marathon and 5K will impact Forest Hill Avenue, Huguenot Bridge and the Boulevard Bridge

SIGNS OF SPRING

• We're in the middle of Richmond Invasive Species Awareness Week - go for a nature walk, help remove invasives at a park, or have some fun at Basic City Beer Company.

• There are garden spaces available at both the Broad Rock Community Garden (Broad Rock Blvd & Stockton St) and the McDonough Community Garden (33rd and Forest Hill).

• My favorite week in March! The Richmond Black Restaurant Experience kicks off next week and you need to start planning NOW to see how many spots you can fit in. Find somewhere new to try!

• The River Hill area of Westover Hills will be featured during Historic Garden Week on Wednesday April 24

RICHMOND HISTORY

• Were you in Richmond in the mid-1990s? If you remember or just heard about it, here's a look at 1994 - what might be Richmond's worst year.

• FUN FACT: Two of our current City Council representatives are THE longest serving in the modern history of city government. Can you guess who without looking?
