The RTD has a piece on Charles Samuels’ Monroe Park meeting from last night:

With advocates for the homeless holding paper-bag signs such as “Parks are for People,” more than 100 Richmond-area residents met last night at the Carillon to discuss what will happen to feeding programs and other services if Monroe Park closes for renovations. […]
