Lately my Netflix has been slow to arrive — if they arrive at all. I’ve had to request replacements for both Superman Returns (eh) and Stranger than Ficton (!). This really isn’t that surprising since our mailman letter carrier, depending on his emotional state that day, leaves our mail on the porch, in the door, [...]
Sorry for the delay gents. In about two hours I got a new toy to play with and one of my more popular websites decided to not work anymore. SO I’VE BEEN A BIT BUSY. Here are the answers to the bonus questions: What percentage of the population is elderly (55+)? 6.3% (129) What percentage [...]
First the answers: What is the average household income? 8,744$ What is the average length of occupancy? 7.1 years How many of the households are a minority? 100% (753) How many households have married parents? 0% (0) How many of the heads of households are female? 92.5% (697) How many households have employment income? 31% [...]
I’m going to ask you a couple questions about the demographics in Gilpin Court. You guess in the comments, and then I will tell the correct answers. If you get win I will mail you one of these two CD’s I got in the mail randomly. No fair if I’ve already told you or if [...]
Oh as an ef-why-eye, I’ve been working closely with FT Rea to launch Richmond’s newest community blog: The Fan District Hub. FDHub is a much grander undertaking than WotBN.net. Think of it more as a ‘zine — which is great since FT has some serious ‘zine experience. Also, I designed FDHub as well as developed [...]
As mentioned previously my randomly assigned topic at the Greater Richmond Challenge II was “Workforce Housing.” Real quick: workforce housing is housing for people that form the backbone of society (think teachers, police, fire, clergy). Workforce housing is different than affordable housing. Affordable housing is for the guy who sells you beer at 7-11. Our [...]
I’m back from the Greater Richmond Challenge II. I had an excellent time and met some pretty awesome people. We traveled all around the the area to each of the three counties and city. We went to Gilpn Court. We went to Winchester Greens on the south side. I’ll be back early next week to [...]
Tomorrow I take part in the Greater Richmond Challenge. Basically I pay the Chamber of Commerce a bunch of money so I can brainstorm ideas to make Richmond a better place to live. I will be there because I am Richmond’s number one fan/cheerleader. NUMBER ONE. There are 95 participants and 5 topics; making two [...]
RMSzero and I picked up our first share of vegetables from the Sprout CSA (community supported agriculture). A share costs you 25$/wk. which we split halvesies. This week only cost 10$ since it was a “smaller” early harvest. I guess. We’ve got (left to right generally) bok choy, spinach, arugala, two types of radishes, turnips, [...]
I’ll be in Brick this week. I had a chat with Aaron from the RTD’s rebellious teenage weekly. It was a good talk, but IBH. Aaron, you sounded stoned. No offense though buddy, good times. We chatted about VacantRichmond and WotBN. I don’t think he really got what RVABlogs was all about. But that’s ok. [...]
