Lost Dog: Zora

Are you missing Zora? If so, I have received the following information: She was found on Dundee Ave near Forest Hill.  She has a tag with a number but its disconnected. She will most likely be in the pond by now as the person who found her is unable to keep the dog. Please contact me […]

Southsiders: Don’t Duck Your Census Taker!

Currently, the U.S. Census bureau has over 700 enumerators walking the streets of Richmond with one goal in mind: count people where they live. Many people in Richmond have voiced their concerns about divulging personal information. However, I believe these concerns are unfounded. Primarily, the Census Bureau wants to know where people live for various […]

Ken Cuccinelli: Perverted Tyrant

One of the greatest rights in our country is the freedom of speech. It’s a shame some of us make a tremendous effort to destroy freedom of thinking. Ken Cuccinelli is such a worm. God only knows why this tyrannic, small minded, ignoramus has managed to gain a law degree and has been permitted to […]

Southside Plaza Employees Don’t Play That

In a daring effort, ABC liquor store employees stopped an armed robber from harming anyone or stealing money by bum-rushing the perpetrator.

Mayor Jones Takes the Teeth Out of Animal Control

Mayor Jones has proposed a governmental restructuring plan in order to consolidate services and save money. While some of the ideas are sound, putting Richmond Animal Care and Control under the authority of the Department of Public Works (DPW) seems a bit muddle headed.

DPW, an already underfunded agency, is currently incapable of efficiently meeting its […]

Virginia Education Association Rally In Richmond Saturday

The following was taken from a flier from the VEA’s website:
The General Assembly is preparing to cut $1.8 billion from education funding. That means 34,000 education employees or 1 in 6 educators will lose their jobs and it will destroy public education as we know it!
Our Senators and Delegates claim that their constituents want those […]
