Just a quick reminder that Renew Richmond begins today and runs through October 12. Haven’t heard of Renew Richmond? Click here to find the website and watch a cool video explaining it. Actually it’s just the cleanup/beautify part of the event that begins today. On Oct. 15, the fun part begins: the art show in Carytown.

RichmondOutside.com is proud to be one of the local sponsors of this very cool new event. We’ll be taking our team to the James River this week to clean up graffiti and pickup trash under the south side of the Nickel Bridge. There’s plenty of it there. Now’s the time to scope out the area you want to beautify and get cracking.
