Published Feb. 13, 2010 at 11:01 p.m.

The Richmond Slave Trail will soon be more than a worn path and a series of dots and lines on a map.

The trail starts at the site of the Manchester Docks on the south side of the James River, and it ends at the Negro Burial Ground and the original site of First African Baptist Church, just north of East Broad Street near

Spot On!

Published Feb. 4, 2010 at 6:38 a.m.

A few weeks ago, former Circuit City workers gathered on the desolate blacktop of their old parking lot at the Deep Run office complex tucked behind the intersection of Broad Street and Gaskins in the West End. It was an awkward tailgate of sorts, held on the one-year anniversary of the company going kablooie, and a reminder of all the big local businesses that went bust in 2009. (Remember that airport signage that bragged about all the Fortune 500 companies calling Richmond home? Ya, me

2010 Crystal Ball: The End of the River City

Published Dec. 31, 2009 at 12:26 p.m.

While the Mayan calendar didn’t specifically state that the world would end in 2012 – this was Hollywood’s convenient interpretation – it made everyone take pause and ask…What if? Could Al Gore’s voodoo planetary PowerPoint presentation call forth acid rain, fire and brimstone? Would Richard Branson’s Virgin space vessel make a wrong turn and incur the wrath of E.T.’s ornery cousin? Would a magical mystery plague escape Amy Winehouse’s hobo skirt and wipe out humanity?
