Style has a report on the city's meeting with Gallery 5 to discuss the October First Friday brouhaha here. Fittingly, details about Staunton, Virginia's recently established arts district were juxtaposed with our city officials' unwillingness to discuss a Richmond arts district at their meeting with Gallery 5...
In other news, the Washington Post article on an evening in Richmond is out. This article is positive about the CenterStage experience, but it makes a lot of critical comments about the area surrounding CenterStage. It will be interesting to note whether this account of Richmond will draw as much discussion as did the NYTimes' comments about Richmond's lack of ethnic cuisine.

The WaPo article reflects the reality around Centerstage. Downtown remains an unfriendly and unattractive destination and unless you know exactly where you are going, how to get there and when to go, you are much better off taking a taxi. I have tried to make this same point to City Council and several other forums. Maybe the message will sink in soon.
