It’s Still Our City | Ep. 13 Stooping RVA

by | Sep 4, 2025 | COMMUNITY, CULTURE, PODCASTS

“The joy of finding a perfectly reusable gem on a sidewalk, in an alley, or on a porch stoop is one of the perks of living in such close proximity in the city of Richmond. The FOMO of not making it on your bike in time for a taxidermy dolphin or a surprisingly decent bass guitar is something else entirely. Welcome to Stooping RVA. In 2020, an avid lover of Richmond decided to start an Instagram page to share her passion for all things lost, repurposed, secretly awesome—and best of all, free.

Over the years, you may have unknowingly crossed paths with the page’s admin: maybe she was making you a drink behind a bar, biking around the alleys, teaching your preschooler, or caring for you as your nurse. She’s asked to remain anonymous (you’ll hear why), but she still loves and appreciates you all very much. This one was super fun for Clair and me. We had no idea who was going to show up for the interview, but it went swimmingly. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.” — host, Harrison Christy
