Y'all!

Once upon a time I ran a news site, now I just have opinions on the news. 

Good Morning, RVA!
My goal is to get you everything you need to know to have intelligent conversations with the folks you encounter throughout the day. Plus, jokes!

Sep 20
Sep 20 Good morning, RVA: PARK(ing) Day, school desegregation, and a City mistake

Ross Catrow

Sep 19
Sep 19 Good morning, RVA: Richmond’s CAO fired, participatory budgeting, and a scooter social

Ross Catrow

IMHO, this CAO news is huge and will have a massive impact on how the City works.

Sep 18
Sep 18 Good morning, RVA: Renewable energy, Mayor Pete, and one of the best restaurants in America

Ross Catrow

Honestly, I don’t feel qualified to fully appreciate what the folks at Longoven are doing with food.

Sep 17
Sep 17 Good morning, RVA: New school names, lots of boring audio, and RVA Transit Week!

Ross Catrow

This is one of the longest, but maybe boringest, editions of this email in a while.

Sep 16
Sep 16 Good morning, RVA: How to rename a school, illegal short-term rentals, and RVA Transit Week

I think I need to create a transit-oriented taco crawl map.

Sep 11

Ross Catrow

Dictating a resolution to the clerk in the middle of a City Council meeting is just so 😘👌.

Sep 10
Sep 10 Good morning, RVA: Commission members, a public Chesterfield spat, and lots of trails

Ross Catrow

So are nominations for the Navy Hill Advisory Commission open again or what?

Sep 9
Sep 9 Good morning, RVA: Tax relief, downtown sports, and the 100-year-old battle to slow down cars

Ross Catrow

Council may not have raised taxes when passing this year’s budget, but there certainly were costs.
