Hi all,

Someone alerted me to the fact that the Share button I’ve had on the site wasn’t working properly on the homepage (it always shared the first post no matter which one you clicked on to share – annoying!!).

So I’ve switched to another type of sharing button which you’ll now see at the bottom of each post. Same functionality – just click it to share that particular article via twitter, facebook, email, and many other ways.

Cheers,

Sarah B.

This morning I had to put my sweet cat, Chelsea, to rest. At only four years old, she came down with a neurological condition that didn’t bring her much joy day to day. It was hard to say goodbye, but I know she is at peace now.

If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile now, you’ve seen Chelsea’s name appear in a few odd posts, mostly funny quips about her being a lazy intern. And although her missteps across my keyboard never resulted in a post, she was my trusty sidekick, always overlooking my work from atop the printer under my warm desk lamp.

Chelsea was superbly sweet, I’ll miss her cuddled at my side every night. I’ll miss her jumping up on the couch and meowing to startle visitors who weren’t expecting her; she loved doing that. And I’ll miss her looks while I work which seemed to say “Really, are we just going to sit in front of the computer tonight?”

When I think of Chelsea, I remember a line from one of my favorite songs: “Those kind of cars don’t pass u every day”. I’ll miss you, sweetheart.

Hi Richmondsfblog readers,

Just a quick note to let you know that we’ll be “off the grid” for a bit during the holidays and getting some rest. That means the blog may not have as many articles as usual, and it’s likely we’ll miss some news here or there.

I want to thank everyone for your support this year. The blog’s been a lot of fun and it’s your feedback and support that keeps us going.

We live in a great neighborhood full of wonderful history, stories and personalities. So it’s no surprise that since the blog launched in May, we’ve posted 500 stories. Who says the Richmond is a sleepy neighborhood? Certainly not me!

Special thanks to all my “cub” reporters out there – David, Wolfgang, Mom – and the rest of you who send me news, photos and event information. This is a blog about a community as much as it is about a neighborhood, and without your help, I wouldn’t be able to keep on top of everything.

Thank you and happy holidays! We can’t wait to see what happens next year,

Sarah B. & Chelsea
