It was a wet then pretty then muggy day in RVA.

Knock knock

Remember when you could just run around your neighborhood, in and out of your friends’ houses, blissfully unaware of the dangers that lurked? Well, there’s still a little of that kind of “Yo, I’m a neighborhood kid, so expect to see me in your house” aspect, if you do it right. Sam Davies observes the new way to be neighborly.

It’s Mom calling. What’s your plan for Sunday. YOU DON’T HAVE A PLAN? Thank goodness for Stephanie Ganz, Mothers Day Saver.

Gulp ahh

Three drinking-focused days are coming up–that includes Mothers Day, if you ask Annie Tobey, which we always do. Get your Cinco de Mayo straight, your Derby Day fancy, and your Mothers Day on lock with cocktail recipes and more.

Gasp wheeze

There are simply too many active events this month in RVA and its surrounding environs. Luckily, Kathryn Pullam is willing to sort through them all for you and make sense of the whole ugly business. In sum: people like running and sometimes that means crawling purposefully through mud.
