I bartended last summer at the Hollywood Grill, aka the Historic Chuck Wagon skid row honky tonk of Oregon Hill’s creepy violent past.

All my cute arty VCU student friends have taken over this neighborhood. Its great. Riding bikes and party hopping, getting a Super Chill at Fine Foods, or just hanging out on the porch waiting to go to 821 for brunch, every day is wonderful and amazing. Its like your life has become a vacation.

I was there in the 80's...

There was a pretty high crime rate in Richmond, as a whole, at the time…

My group of friends lost someone. She was stabbed to death in the fan. It was awful. I guess we never thought much about mortality in our lives until that happened.

It still gives me shivers and makes me wonder at the senselessness of it.
