If you haven’t noticed, this blog has been on hiatus for a few weeks, for the usual reasons: overload of other things to do, plus the need to take a breather. But we’ll be back in this space soon enough–perhaps in a somewhat revised format.
In the meantime, students in one of my courses are writing a blog devoted to Richmond local affairs, urbanstudies.wordpress.com, which I’d encourage you to take a look at and respond to if you wish.
