Learning about cider-making at Blue Bee, one of the only urban cideries on the east coast and our office building neighbors (and, incidentally, new Tumblr users).

Free “Liberty or Death” Reenactments this summer at St. John’s Church!

Starting Memorial Day weekend and running until Labor Day weekend in September, free reenactments of Patrick Henry’s famous speech will be shown every Sunday at 2:00pm. The event itself is free, but donations are encouraged. Seating is available on a first come, first served basis, and reservations may be made for groups of ten or more.

Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!

In case you needed more reasons to love Church Hill. We’ve got the whole founding fathers thing on lockdown as well.

Seriously though, if you haven’t seen the reenactment, go. You’re just sitting in the church and these guys in stellar period garb come in and sit amongst you (I think Thomas Nelson was in my row last time I went). It’s not just the Patrick Henry speech, but a whole portion of the Virginia Convention (the meeting at which the speech was delivered). Provides a lot of context that we don’t usually think about when we hear those famous lines and take them for granted.

CHAT (Church Hill Activities and Tutoring) has entered this video in a contest from TechSoup to win funds for video production equipment. If you have two seconds, please vote for them. They do huge things in our neighborhood with limited resources.

Also, cameo from the little girl I tutor at 0:50 (in the blue shirt)! I love her but full disclosure: that grin is 100% mischievous.

“That’s a tough one! I’d have to say April 25th.”

Yes! Perfect date day! This explains why I’m in such a delightful mood.

I noticed (and immediately loved) these row houses one night while walking around Capitol Square. Neat to see them written up on Architecture Richmond and also interesting to see that the architect was the same guy who designed the “birdcage” (James Monroe’s tomb) at Hollywood Cemetery.

OK, guys, here’s the deal. KPCC has been doing a Public Radio March Madness bracket, and it’s down to the final round: Radiolab vs. This American Life.

We are total underdogs here. And we need YOU to make this a full-on, Mighty-Ducks-style, David-and-Goliath underdog TRIUMPH. Team Underdog, are you ready? VOTE!

Now this is my kind of bracket. Also this is probably the greatest loyalty crisis of my adult life. And it doesn’t help that I have a hard time making even the tiniest decisions and that I’ve been spending a lot of time watching The Vampire Diaries. I’m all “WHY MUST I CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM?”

Fire at Sub Rosa

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 07:36:00 -0400

chpn:

Last night the structure containing Sub Rosa Bakery, at 620 N. 25th Street, caught fire. No word yet on whether the fire started in Sub Rosa Bakery or if the nearby Ardent Craft Ales was damaged as well.

The building is now condemned. More as it develops.

VIA: Church Hill People’s News / http://chpn.net/news/2013/04/03/fire-at-sub-rosa_26761/

I was seriously getting ready to walk over there for a pastry when I saw this. So incredibly sad for the neighborhood.

reginasworld:

Designer Karen Walker selected 12 models aged 65 to 92 for her latest 2013 eyewear collection, shot in collaboration with Ari Seth Cohen (of the blog Advanced Style), in the cheekily-titled campaign Karen Walker Forever. The 31-piece collection marries old favorites, like Deep Freeze and Number one, with new releases, like the Atomic.

Killing it.
