Eight bike repair experts and 23 volunteers teamed Eight bike repair experts and 23 volunteers teamed up for the first Bike Build Day, hosted by @ragnbonesrva and fueled by @smokymugrva with breakfast, chips, and salsa. Together they repaired and perfected 43 bicycles that will soon roll out to @rvaschools students across the city.

Today bbgb (@bbgbbooks), a favorite Carytown indep Today bbgb (@bbgbbooks), a favorite Carytown independent bookstore, celebrated its 15th Birthday Bash and Small Business Saturday. For 15 years, bbgb has championed children’s books and stories for the entire family, always with a knack for choosing titles that help readers look a little longer, a little closer, and a little differently.

To thank the loyal customers who have supported them through the years, bbgb invited the community to enjoy special treats and all-day festivities. The celebration included a Toddler Book Club meeting, a live photo booth drawing by @shannondrewthis, storytime with @ms.clairescorner where the kids painted with ice, treats from @sugartwine and hot apple cider, a scavenger hunt featuring an exclusive bbgb octopus sticker, in-store raffles, photo ops, and a Holiday Book Drive for the @childrensmuseumofrichmond Book Bank.

Celebrating 15 years in business on Small Business Saturday feels just right. Here’s to the next 15 years.

📍3003 W Cary St.

Check it out this weekend for handmade gifts, artwork, ceramics, prints, vintage finds, apparel, and other creations that are all sourced within our city.

Best of all, when you shop local, your holiday dollars stay in Richmond. For shoppers who value originality and gifts with a real story behind them, the Winter Market is for you.

Over the past two days, The All Equals Project (@a Over the past two days, The All Equals Project (@allequalsproject) hosted its annual Thanksgiving Drive, providing hot meals, clothing, hygiene products, and pantry staples to neighbors who needed them most.

The All Equals Project is a local nonprofit dedicated to community resilience and support across the greater Richmond area. This year’s giveback took place at 25th and R Street in Church Hill, right outside Planned Parenthood. To make this year’s Thanksgiving Drive possible, the organization teamed up with @gmgiveback and @trustproject.rva. It was the largest group of volunteers the collective has ever seen for a two-day initiative. The giveback was a result of collaboration among sponsors, Mount Mariah, donors, and volunteers committed to making a difference one block at a time.

@chaintheyll has turned the beloved Lowe’s Cat, Qu @chaintheyll has turned the beloved Lowe’s Cat, Queen Francine, into her very own action figure. That’s right, a super limited-edition run of Francine the Home Improvement Cat handmade figurines is up for grabs @studiotwothree’s Winter Market, starting today!

While you’re there, don’t miss the tribute to Bagel! Years before Richmond fell in love with Francine, Bagel the Beagle ruled local headlines back in 2016 after he slipped out of his gate, sparking a citywide search and inspiring a full-blown documentary by students at the VCU Brandcenter. Celebrate Richmond’s love for its four-legged icons with a Bagel croc charm or pin this holiday season. 🐾

And be sure to show love to the other 100+ local artists at the Winter Market today @studiotwothree.

Tucked away on a quiet trail near the James River Tucked away on a quiet trail near the James River Park System’s HQ, our hidden mailbox collab with @jamesriverpark holds a community journal filled with the thoughts, hopes, and reflections of those who stumble upon it and take a moment to pause and connect.

The entries are as varied as the people who write them. Some are heartfelt confessions, others are joyful celebrations, trail sketches, or simple musings about life in Richmond. Here are a few of the most recent:

– “Today I felt like giving up… but here in nature a certain calm washes over me.”

– “I just discovered this mailbox…I can’t remember the last time I wrote. I’m in a rut. I want to find meaning beyond the addicting, fleeting novelty of my smartphone.”

– “A nice surprise to find this mailbox…a new memory just for me. Something not trailed by the past.”

– “We saw turtles sunbathing.”

– “Like the great horizon before the dawn, much of life is in the in-between… we must go through the chaos of the middle for the end to make sense.”

– “Life is tough; we need each other. Don’t let go of your people.”

– “Crisp morning air, blanketed in the gray.”

– “Take time away from work to really enjoy life. The little moments along the way contribute to a beautiful journey.”

– “Do everything you possibly can to continually expand your worldview. All experiences are valid. Instead of being a tourist, be a traveler. Be a student.”

– “RIP to my best friend. We always think we have more time.”

– “As I was walking, I wondered where we’re going…hoping it’s peaceful.”

– “Hello Richmond. I’m glad to have found this. There’s $100 in the book for whoever needs it. Take it or pass it on.”

– “Kiss and hug your loved ones a thousand times a day.”

– “Enjoyed an impromptu walk in the woods. A delightful accident.”

– “Take a moment and enjoy the noise and silence of it all.”

– “Finding this sweet natural space made me feel at home and connected. Thank you, Richmond.”
