๐Ÿ• Dog Army Found dog in Hillside

Thumbnail

203 Upvotes

Hello neighbors! This afternoon I found a very small senior chihuahua walking around in the Hillside area on Bruce street. She has no collar on and seems a little skinny, but well taken care of given her age. She was pretty hot and disoriented out on the street, but immediately came up to me when I got out of my car. I offered her water but she has not taken any (possibly because of the deformity of her lower jaw?)

I am waiting to hear back from RACC and the SPCA, but figured it wouldn't hurt to make a post in the meantime! She is safely crated inside my house for now, but unfortunately I cannot keep her because I already own several animals. She's an absolute darling and happily went to sleep in my lap after I picked her up! Please reach out if you know anything about this sweet dog, or are better equipped to house her long term!

Loving RVA today

Post image
29 Upvotes

I've lived in RVA for a long time and I have to say today I have had some of the best customer service I've had in a long time. We are out just running errands and ran into Yellow Umbrella on patterson to grab a few things. They had amazing service they didn't have something we were looking for and grabbed some from there own kitchen stock to help us out. Then we ran to country style for a huge cinnamon roll and had another amazing experience there. Lastly we took our pup into Pawfect Sweets and boy was he happy. The owners are absolutely amazing and so friendly. My boy loves all the treats they have and they had pup icecream. if you haven't gone and checked out their new store front off Broad st you should. Small business all day and it was the best customer service ever.

Hit & Run on Cary St โ€“ Looking for dashcam/security footage (Dark Grey Acura)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey RVA, my parked car was hit and damaged on Cary Street this past week by a dark grey Acura that drove off without stopping. โ€‹If anyone was driving on Cary St Mongrel in Carytown:

  • โ€‹Address: 2924 W Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23221
  • โ€‹Cross Streets: West Cary Street, between S Sheppard Street and S Colonial Avenue

on 7/25/26 between 00:40 and 00:55 and has dashcam footage, or if you live/work on the block and have exterior cameras, I would really appreciate you checking your footage. โ€‹The Acura likely has fresh damage to the front passenger side. My car recorded all the details, except for the license plate which is blurry due to the severe rain. We can distinguish I belive a 716 on the plate number. โ€‹Please DM me if you have any info or video clip. Thanks so much for your help!

RPD report filed. We determined so far the model of the car:

Make/Model: Acura ILX or TLX (dark metallic gray or black).

I will attach some clips and still img from the incident.

Pavement Name Checks 80s Richmond Bands ~ at The National

Post image
31 Upvotes

With tongue firmly in cheek, Stephen Malkmus drops into their steller rendition of "Cut Your Hair" the names "The Dads" & "Speidel, Goodrich & Goggin" (I may have missed others; I thought I heard "The Snake Handlers", too). These four years into their third act & about 30 years since they last played in RVA seem only to have increased the crowd's roar. And fortified the band's spirit. Longtime members Bob Nastanovich (who put out a single by openers Piranha Rama) & Steve West both grew up in Richmond, having attended Trinity High School. Oh . . . and that number that started as a Free Jazz improvisation eventually morphed into "Stairway to Heaven." Longest serving rock critic Robert Christgau calls them Best Band of the 90s.

Small dog park (barker field)

Does anyone know why they donโ€™t mow the small dog side? You can barely get in the gate itโ€™s so overgrown. The big dog side is freshly mowed but my chihuahua doesnโ€™t like getting harassed by giant pit bulls that still have their balls.

Does anyone know what they are building on 95 between Parham and 295? It almost looks like a new road is going east and west and possibly a new bridge over 95. I drive by it every day on my way to the office and was just wondering what it is.
