There’s a pyramid hiding in plain sight in Forest There’s a pyramid hiding in plain sight in Forest Hill Park and, according to a story that’s been passed around Richmond for years, it was built for a bear.

It’s a special place we’ve wandered past and written about before, in a park we can’t help but return to often. And yet the mysterious stone pyramid tucked among the trees still has a way of feeling like a new discovery every visit.

You don’t have to venture deep into the park to find it. But unless you know where to look, you could pass nearby a hundred times without ever noticing this little pyramid built from rough blocks of granite. And for years, it has carried one of the more peculiar pieces of River City lore. The version many of us have heard is that the pyramid was built in memory of a beloved bear that once lived here during an earlier chapter of Forest Hill Park’s history. According to some tellings, the bear became something of a local favorite.

It’s the kind of story that gets passed from neighbor to neighbor until eventually nobody remembers exactly who told them first. Either way, we’re here for it.
Richmonders broke out the blonde wigs, cowboy boot Richmonders broke out the blonde wigs, cowboy boots, and plenty of pink for the first Dolly Parton Parade today. Richmond photographer @rvaphotog was there to capture the inaugural celebration of the Queen of Country as it made its way through Carytown. Organized by @crystal.blue.persuasion, the gathering brought together Dolly devotees for an afternoon celebrating the music, generosity, and spirit of Dolly Parton.

Back at it tomorrow. September is prime sturgeon-watching season on the James. Get out there.
