A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down with Gov. Ralph Northam and a small, interfaith group of religious leaders for a Passover seder at the Executive Mansion in Richmond. Passover is the Jewish holiday commemorating the biblical story of liberation for the Israelites enslaved in Egypt. As the festival begins, it is customary to have...
It’s crazy to think that just 200 yards can be the difference between getting locked up and being fined for enjoying a fatty with friends while overlooking the Potomac.

It’s a beautiful early spring afternoon, and members of Les Boulesfrogs, Church Hill’s only pétanque club, are gathered at Chimborazo Park. Nineteen members and three newcomers, including this reporter, are here to play the bocce-like French game, where teams take turns launching steel boules at a small wooden ball called the cochonnet...

This batch of Missed Connections may be brief, but its spicy as ever as sparks fly between a man with a broken leg and a vet in a cowboy hat, a man admires a woman from afar at an Easter Vigil at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, a handsome Firebird's waiter is generous with his prime rib, and one poor soul longs for their former flame from Buffalo...
