Have A Safe Memorial Day RVA!

by | May 26, 2014 | POLITICS

While eating our hot dogs and chugging beers lets take a second to remember the men and women that sacrificed their lives to give us a shot at freedom. We don’t live in a perfect society but at least we have a chance because of their ultimate sacrifice.

And if you don’t know what I am talking about, first you need to feel stand-in-the-corner-by-yourself shame next google “Memorial Day” and educate yourself.

Okay, back to the celebrating part. Be safe everyone.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is. Catch me at @majormajor____
