Donald Trump's motorcade has arrived at the Richmond Convention Center. @RTDNEWS
I sat down with Mayor Levar Stoney Thursday afternoon for a quick Q&A session to discuss this past year and what's ahead for the city and his upcoming gubernatorial race. richmond.com/news/local/gov…
On July 29, a police chase in Prince George ended when the fleeing suspect hit and killed a bystander. Officers were pursuing for reckless driving — a Class 1 misdemeanor. But department policy says police cannot pursue for anything less than a felony. richmond.com/news/local/cri…
.@SeanJones_RTD and I took a look at the state of child care in the Richmond region. The extreme waitlists coupled with the hefty price tag drive some parents to question whether leaving the workforce altogether would be easier and less expensive.@RTDNEWS richmond.com/news/local/edu…
Earlier this year, I pitched the idea of doing a weekly ‘From the archives' series. The idea was to highlight historic events in the city and their impact. We're now seven weeks in and I'm having a blast uncovering uniquely RVA stories. Feel free to follow along! 🧵:
A Richmond area partnership that's working to bring medicine manufacturing back from overseas just hit a new milestone. Two new labs are the beginning of its end-to-end manufacturing pipeline. richmond.com/business/local…
The most recent @BLS_gov data shows that Richmond has recovered the number of jobs it had before the pandemic. Richmond's rebound is slightly slower than the national average. richmond.com/business/local…
The 55,000 square-foot venue opens this week. richmond.com/business/local…
Chesterfield will start vetting developers for the Speedway property before the end of the year. Supervisors encouraged local groups to come up with a bid that could save the historic racetrack. richmond.com/business/local…
The purchase consolidates Indivior's place in the opioid treatment industry. Opiant has a new overdose reversal agent expected to hit the market in the coming year. richmond.com/business/richm…
Richmond has a Moxy. Chester-based Shamin partnered with Marriott to bring the whimsical brand downtown. It's the only one in Virginia. richmond.com/business/local…
Housing price are higher than they were last year, but have steadily declined since June. Real estate agents say the market is normalizing, as the fiercest competition for homes appears to be over. richmond.com/business/local…
Sassy Jones made a name for itself as an ecommerce platform. Founder and CEO Charis Jones now has a new store at Short Pump to give fans an added experience. richmond.com/business/local…
Some of the money is going toward high profile renovation like South Side Depot and the old social services building on Farmer Street. progress-index.com/story/news/202…
The idea was introduced shortly after the death of well-known Petersburg resident Willie Noise III in a shooting at a public park. progress-index.com/story/news/202…
This study looked at county-wide crash data and high accident clusters. Prince George has the second-highest number of deaths in the Tri-Cities. progress-index.com/story/news/202…
The building has seen little work since it was first purchased by the developer in 2015. The city is now threatening to demolish it. progress-index.com/story/news/202…
Southside and John Randolph Medical Centers both say they have seen a recent rise in cases but are not yet facing a shortage of bed space. progress-index.com/story/news/202…

Richmond restaurant paid one meals tax payment late. Now it owes the city $68,000. 'A law or bill needs to change where the city is required to let people know they’re doing this. It's theft,' the co-owner said. #rva #rvadine richmond.com/life-entertain…

Election day is a week away! With a casino referendum on Richmond's ballot, I traveled to Atlantic City to learn more about how East Coast casinos came to be, their effects on communities and if Richmond could learn from it. Here's what I found out: richmond.com/news/local/gov…
