All itchy, watery eyes on you

The Richmond Police Department recently adopted body-worn cameras, and the ACLU of Virginia has some concerns that localities using the BWCs aren’t doing enough to protect citizens’ privacy. But the intent of them is so good! It’s…much more interesting than it sounds.

Delightful, non-sneezing voices

Giles Harnsberger of Groundwork RVA and our own publisher Ross Catrow present the first episode of their urban planning podcast, What’s the Plan? I have a hard time getting into podcasts sometimes, guys, but Giles is fascinating to listen to and is a wealth of knowledge about Richmond planning lore. We annoyingly ask her for expertise for just about every City-related piece we write, so we decided to just bring it straight to you. The first episode of What’s the Plan involves the process in which ideas become reality–like, here! Specifically in Richmond. I’m very excited about this.

Or possibly somewhere in between. The Mayor, the Office of Community Wealth Building, and some other folks spoke yesterday about how we’re doing in the Big Battle Against Our Soaring Poverty Rate.

Time to Benadryl and chill

Marble book covers! Yes.
