Reminder: Seasonal ice skating rink opens Wednesday night! (UPDATED)

Earlier this month, Mayor Jones announced that the city would be setting up a seasonal skating rink right next to CenterStage (at 6th Street, on the Broad Street side). “RVA on Ice” (as it’s being called) looks like it’s on track to open at 6pm on Wednesday — just in time for Christmas!
