Located near the intersection of I-295 and Route 5, the trailhead is one of @virginiacapitaltrail’s most popular access points, with parking, restrooms, water, and direct access to the 51.7-mile paved trail connecting Richmond and Jamestown.

The mural honors the story of London Pleasants, who was born into slavery at Curles Neck Plantation. At just 14 years old, he escaped and joined the British forces during the American Revolutionary War after being promised freedom. Following the war, he was evacuated by the British to Nova Scotia in 1783 as a free man.

Commissioned by @henricorecparks, Jowarnise’s artwork shines a light on a remarkable chapter of local history that many people may not know.

For nearly 20 years, @crossroadsrva has welcomed Richmonders — not by chasing trends, but by being a good neighbor, supporting other local businesses, and creating a place where community comes naturally.

Stop by this former neighborhood service station, grab a coffee, spend a few minutes talking with owner Will “Willy Beans” Herring, and settle in on the patio for a while.

We said yes, headed to @rubyscoopsic in Brookland Park, and remembered why it’s one of Richmond’s favorite places for a scoop. Because some summer traditions are worth keeping local.
