Don't send our mail to Richmond anymore!

No, we didn't move. Because our local government felt slighted, they wanted to change the addresses across the county from "Richmond, VA" to "Henrico, VA."

THE NORVA

According to a Times-Dispatch story today, the Norva will be named one of the top 5 rock clubs in the country by Rolling Stone next week. I've seen a few shows at the Norva (The Fray, Switchfoot twice and Relient K) and they have all been great. A lot of times at a concert you feel lost in the crowd, but at the Norva every seat (well, ok there aren't any seats -- every "stand") is close to the stage.

But the best part -- Bill Reid, owner of the Norva and part owner of the National in Richmond, said, "What we've done at The National is even better than what we did at NorVa." He expects The National to get the same award before too long. That will be something Richmond can be proud of. For now, we can just be proud of our neighbors.

10-4.

This webpage has been up on my screen for at least a week, just waiting to make an appearance here.

'Tis a sad day in the police world. Their internal 10-4 language that we all know and love from TV cop shows apparently has neared the end of its days, and good 'ole RVA makes the headlines.
