Will skill game machines resembling slot machines return to convenience stores? Not immediately, but legislators have set the stage for these machines to potentially make a comeback, should the Governor choose not to intervene. In a bipartisan measure, Democrats and...
Anyone who has lived in downtown Richmond for a decent length of time has probably noticed at one time or another the signs on W. Broad St, in the VCU/lower Fan area, that make parking on Broad St illegal between 11 PM and 4 AM, seven days a week.

Venus, our seductive planet of love and money and all of the pleasures and downfalls that go with it, moves retrograde at Gemini beginning today and ends the 27th of June. Venus appears to be moving backwards or standing still in the sky because of the way the Sun casts a shadow on it in relation to Earth. This period is going to be a time to...

Cinco de Mayo 2012 was an intense one for me this year. Kicking off with day two of RVA BeerFest, it also featured a visit from President Obama (no big deal), and also a little visit from Daily Show correspondent Al Madrigal at one of our own local bars.
