Art Abounds at the 43rd Street Festival of Arts
Saturday, September 14th starting at 10 AM you’ll be able to get locally made art, crafts, and more in Forest Hill.
For the 28th year the 43rd Street Festival of the Arts takes over a few blocks of Woodland Heights. To be percise you’ll find these artists on 43rd and Springhill Avenue. From street art to fine art, the 28th annual 43rd Street Festival of the Arts has something for everyone. Local and regional artisans show and sell their fine work. This is a juried RVA neighborhood art festival with music and food as well as a fundraiser for CARITAS.
It all kicks off on Saturday, September 14th, 2019. 10-5pm and is free to the public but they’ll be taking donations for Caritas.
The 43rd Street Festival of Arts Facebook page has some examples from the artists you can expect to find on Saturday include these awesome birdhouses by Clifford Earl and Ginger Reuling.

Virginia Business Reporting that the Bally’s Casino No Longer in the Running
There are only two casino options now on the table.
Caught this news this morning on Virginia Business:
The city of Richmond has cut the $650 million Bally’s casino proposal from consideration, leaving two competitors, the mayor’s office announced Wednesday morning.
The Live! Casino & Hotel proposal by The Cordish Cos. and ONE Casino and Resort, proposed by Radio One Inc., are the only two options now being considered by an evaluation panel named by the city.
“We appreciate Bally’s interest to develop a resort casino project in Richmond,” Leonard Sledge, director of the city’s Department of Economic Development, said in a statement. “The evaluation panel is no longer considering the Bally’s project or the Parkway Crossings site for a resort casino due to concerns about site access, environmental factors and required approvals from non-city entities that may not be granted or extend the project timeline. We also appreciate the many Richmond citizens who have shared their thoughts throughout this process.”
