Re: “Architecture Review: Brown's Island and Belle Isle”
I would agree with kazoo. My wife and I have lived in Richmond for 30 years and we currently live just blocks from the river. Over the years we have visited a number of other riverside cities that have done great things with aspects of their riverfronts: Cincinnati; Austin; San Antonio; Greenville, SC; Washington, DC; etc. etc. I've never seen any planning that articulates a family- and/or young professional-friendly atmosphere on the Richmond riverfront.
I regularly take my kids over to Belle Isle but while trying to go there on one of the first nice days of the summer this year, the overcrowding and lack of a cohesive parking situation made entree into the area a complete hassle. Richmond has neglected it's most appealing and versatile attraction for decades now. And I see no evidence this is going to change.
Re: “Abled to Do Anything”
It was announced at the Live Art event that SPARC plans to continue the program. I would suggest contacting them for details. www.sparconline.org.
Re: “Island of Lost Souls”
The opening sentences are missing from this review:
Many of the things that make William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” compelling on the page make it a potential nightmare when bringing it to the stage. “You’ve got murders, a dead parachutist, people falling off mountains,” explains director Josh Chenard.
Re: “Cantor’s Charade”
The "arrogant liberal mantra" is another way of saying "a grown-up understanding that negotiation requires give and take on both sides and not digging in your heals when refusal to come to a deal will end up costing the tax-payers Cantor is trying so vigilantly to protect billions and billions when our credit get down-graded." If Cantor's constituents want him to end up throwing the American economy back into recession by drawing an arbitrary line in the sand, then they are as deluded as he is.

Re: “Woo's on First”
I have been informed that the "Merry Wives of Windsor (Farms)" production I refer to above was actually performed 13 years ago. I apologize for the error. - DHT
