Startup aims to help Richmonders discover fun events around town
Many companies have tried and failed to access social media in an attempt to capture the attention of younger generations. They add things on Snapchat that no one wants to see, make posts on Instagram that no one likes, place ads on Facebook that no one clicks -- because this media-addled generation isn’t interested in just being sold a product...
Opinion: The Pat Hines Letter

EVENT: Yell At The Lee Statue, While Drinking Out Of A Container In A Brown Bag
*Only the most ridiculous parts of this story are true. In what can only be described as the apex of neo-Confederate resistance, local Richmond residents on October 23 are planning on gathering once again in the shadow of Lee Monument - this time to yell at the statue, while drinking out of a container in a brown bag. This comes on the heels of...
Jefferson Davis Statue Vandalized for Second Day in a Row
The statue celebrating Jefferson Davis on Monument Avenue has been tagged with "racist" for the second time in as many days, after crews from Virginia Beach cleaned the same word from a previous tagging late Monday night.
