🎄 Evergreen, the holiday popup at @birdiesva (next 🎄 Evergreen, the holiday popup at @birdiesva (next to No. 303), previewed tonight ahead of its public opening tomorrow.

Trisha Welsh, director of operations at @303westbroad, said: “Evergreen is a little holiday magic made possible by our incredible team, partners, and community. As we celebrate our fifth year, we hope it serves as a reminder that the season of giving is about more than food and drinks. It’s about showing up for one another and taking care of the community around us.”

The @303westbroad team has already collected more than 1,200 pounds of food and raised over $6,000 for @feedmoreinc through the popup’s food drive.

Reservations were available through the drive on Nov. 4th, but a waitlist is still open. Walk-ins are accepted nightly. The bar is first-come, first-served, and Mondays are reserved for walk-ins only.

📅 November 13th – December 31st

📍 Evergreen at @birdiesva (next to No. 303)

We stopped by @journeymans.co in Shockoe Bottom to We stopped by @journeymans.co in Shockoe Bottom to reconnect with Glenn Amey, a Richmond entrepreneur and lifelong cycling enthusiast who always has a good story at the ready.

A small business owner in the neighborhood for nearly 30 years, Glenn first made his mark as a talented goldsmith and jewelry designer before turning his passion for exploring the world on two wheels into a business of his own. Today, his shop at 115 N. 18th St is a destination for cyclists and adventure seekers, offering everything from custom built bikes to carefully selected gear for the road less traveled.

And there’s more to Journeyman’s than bikes and gear. Glenn also has a knack for bringing people together through a monthly Get Lost series, where cyclists share stories from adventures near and far. The next gathering is Saturday, Nov 21 at 9am, featuring stories from the road and coffee from Richmond’s own @blanchardscoffee. 

Just another reminder that Richmond’s most interesting local businesses are built by people who follow their passions.

📍 Journeyman’s Adventure Co., 115 N. 18th St

Richmond artist David Marion (@davidmariong) has b Richmond artist David Marion (@davidmariong) has brought a new message of community and connection to Jackson Ward with Love Thy Neighbor, a mural on N. 2nd St honorarily named Lorna Pinckney Place.

Just a few blocks from our office, the new mural was commissioned by @venturerichmond and celebrates the people and relationships that make a neighborhood like Jackson Ward so special. For David, the project was also about the conversations and connections made along the way. “I had so many amazing conversations with the people of this community that will inspire me always,” he shared.

David is also a cofounder of the Liberated Arts Foundation (@liberatedflow), which brings artists and the community together through its annual Liberated Flow Charity Art Gala, an event we’re proud to sponsor. This year’s event, The Sole of the Community, takes place December 5 at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, celebrating art, creativity, and connection while raising support for local nonprofit The ARTS. The featured exhibition will also be on display at @bhmva from December 9 through January 23.

🎵 “Feel Good Song” by Richmond’s own @kenneco.

Old school BMX is alive and well in Richmond! This Old school BMX is alive and well in Richmond! This weekend, we headed back to Richmond’s East End to visit our friends at @powersbmxshop on Williamsburg Rd, where the Powers BMX Museum hosted its first ever Old School BMX Bike Show & Swap Meet. The community event brought together local riders, collectors, and BMX enthusiasts from across the East Coast for an afternoon celebrating the bikes and culture that helped define a generation.

From beautifully restored vintage BMX bikes and hard-to-find parts to a little action on the ramps and track behind the shop, there was plenty to see. The event also welcomed some familiar faces from BMX history, including former factory racer Justin Shepard and Danny Millwee of the cult-classic film Rad, who joined the festivities as guest judges.

For shop owner Chad Powers, it’s another example of what he’s been building here in Richmond for over two decades. More than a bike shop, Chad has created a welcoming gathering place for people who share a love of BMX, and events like this are a good reminder of why independent local businesses matter.

📍 Powers BMX Museum, 3119 Williamsburg Road

Richmond’s Southside has an inspiring new landmark Richmond’s Southside has an inspiring new landmark, and today we joined neighbors, students, and community leaders to celebrate its official dedication!

The massive mural at Chippenham Mall Shopping Center on Hull St is the work of local artist Hamilton Glass (@hamglass), who teamed up with students from River City Middle School and Virginia Community Voice’s (@vacommunityvoice) ARCA program to bring it to life.

The recently completed project gave young people an opportunity to work alongside a professional artist, contribute their own creativity, and leave a lasting mark on the community they call home. Today’s celebration included remarks from D.J. Winston and Virginia Community Voice Executive Director Lea Whitehurst-Gibson, along with a special surprise for Hamilton, who received a proclamation from Richmond City Council Member Nicole Jones (@9thdistrictnicole) recognizing his contributions. Virginia State Senator Mike Jones (@thedrmikejones), Delegate Charlie Schmidt (@charlie4va), and Richmond City Council Member Katherine Jordan (@katherinejrva) were also among those in attendance, along with members of the Southside Ducks youth football team, who brought a little extra Southside pride to the occasion.

But the real stars were the young people who helped create the mural. Their work is now part of the neighborhood, a colorful reminder of what can happen when local talent, creativity, and community come together.

Congratulations to Ham, the students, Virginia Community Voice, and everyone who helped make it happen!

Last night, we joined Friends of the James River P Last night, we joined Friends of the James River Park (@jamesriverpark) at @studiotwothree for the grand finale of Rooted & Wild, a two-day celebration of one of Richmond’s greatest treasures. The evening brought together local artists, nature lovers, and community supporters for a lively fundraiser featuring original artwork donated by more than 25 local artists, food, drinks, and a silent auction, all to help protect and preserve the park we love.

For more than 50 years, the James River Park System has offered Richmonders miles of trails, wild landscapes, and a place to reconnect with nature, all in the heart of our city. Funds raised help support efforts ranging from trail maintenance and native plant restoration to environmental education and keeping the park safe and accessible for everyone.

A big thank you to Friends of the James River Park, the participating artists, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who came together to support the park. Here’s to keeping it rooted and wild! 💚
