Richmond Magazine’s October
Issue
15 Kids With Really Big Ideas,
the
11th Annual Pollak Prizes and
more
As the 2008-2009
school year gets up to speed, we decided to give ourselves a little
homework assignment. In our cover feature, “Top
of the Class,” we present 15 accomplished and
scary-smart young people with big ideas. Meet a group of students who
have shown uncommon initiative in putting their ingenious concepts into
action.
Can
your blog get you sued? This month, media writer Bill
Farrar takes a look at how media law applies to community journalists
and bloggers who cover everything from restaurant reviews to local
politics. Find the full story online here.
Throughout
the East Coast, large swaths of eastern hemlock trees are being reduced
to skeletons, and some people think Richmond’s Maymont estate
may have been ground zero for the epidemic. In “Natural
Disaster,” writer Dave McCormack attempts to trace
the North American point of origin for the parasitic woolly adelgid
that’s devastating the tree species.
In
1998, when Richmond magazine established the Pollak Prizes to recognize
the region’s makers and creators, thoughts of posterity were
fleeting. But here we are in the prizes’ 11th year. Our
annual feature introduces 13 artists who embody the creative spirit of
our region. Read about all of them here.
What’s goin’ down
(and up) in Church Hill? In our “Downtown
Guide” this month, we check in with planned
and ongoing developments in the history-laden district. Also, we get an
update on the Virginia Capital Trail — a biking and hiking
path that will one day connect Richmond with
Williamsburg.
The Fall/Winter
Issue of Dine
Along with this
month’s Richmond magazine, we deliver another edition of
Dine. The Fall/Winter guide offers a day-by-day list of special dishes that will
satisfy your appetite all week long. Also, local experts serve up tips
for finding that most
interesting glass of wine. And in addition to our menu and
restaurant listings, we sniff out some of the region’s tasty
and out-of-the-ordinary brunch
dishes.
