A look back at shuttered and demolished malls of Richmond

1 week ago | richmond.com | Jeff Terich

In the mid-1950s, Richmond entered the age of the shopping mall, but it only took a couple decades for it to become an early victim of the retail apocalypse. Henrico’s Willow Lawn Shopping Center led the way as the area's first shopping mall. Seven years later, the Azalea Mall along Brook Road near Bryan Park opened its doors as Richmond’s first enclosed mall.
McKinley Dixon : Magic, Alive!

In spite of human vanity and a centuries-long pursuit, immortality has yet to be achieved. The fountain of youth was a bust, vampires aren’t real, and no amount of infusions of younger blood is going to stave off the inevitable. Only figures such as Mozart or Shakespeare ever achieve anything approaching immortality, their works living on centuries beyond their connection to this mortal coil, which were considerably brief by today’s standards.
Mac the monkey made West End his own personal jungle

2 weeks ago | richmond.com | Jeff Terich

On a Friday morning in November 1951 in the Fan, Mrs. R. Bruce Gordon spied someone rummaging through her garbage can. That scavenger wasn’t human, however, but a resourceful neighborhood pet: Mac, a ring-tailed monkey. In the early 1950s, it became eerily commonplace to see strange animals roaming around the neighborhoods of Richmond. In 1951, a bear was spotted roaming the West End, while in summer of 1952, an alligator somehow got loose in the same neighborhood.

Marvin Gaye's band's instruments confiscated after 1977 Richmond Coliseum show

When Marvin Gaye made his return to Richmond in 1977 three years after his previous performance in the city, trouble men got in his way. On the morning of September 20, following a late-night concert at the Richmond Coliseum, the legendary soul singer was served with a $15,000 court attachment over a dispute over a scheduled performance at the Mosque in 1968, which he didn’t perform.
Lifeguard : Ripped and Torn

3 weeks ago | treblezine.com | Jeff Terich

After playing together for just one year, Chicago trio Lifeguard released their debut album Dive, an early and raw document of a group of teenagers honing a nascent but noisy sound. Dive wasn’t widely distributed, its lo-fi sound a snug fit for a cassette-only release that they issued as something of a milemarker.
1959 Murder prompted debate over fate of Monroe Park

3 weeks ago | richmond.com | Jeff Terich

Dr. Austin I. Dodson and his wife had looked forward to an evening of classical music on the night of Feb. 21, 1959, when things took a tragic turn, as two men beat the 67-year-old to death in Monroe Park. So shocked were the citizens of Richmond at the death of the respected doctor, the then-head of the urology department at Medical Center of Virginia, that it caused a years-long debate over the fate of the park itself.
Keith Hudson : Flesh of My Skin, Blood of My Blood

4 weeks ago | treblezine.com | Jeff Terich

“Hunting,” the track that opens Keith Hudson’s 1974 album Flesh of My Skin, Blood of My Blood, probably doesn’t sound like any reggae song you’ve heard. It certainly doesn’t sound like many I’ve heard, its intoxicating and mysterious lo-fi swirl of psychedelia a kind of genre unto itself. It’s under two and a half minutes long but endlessly rich, atmospheric but rendered unrelentingly heavy by the sheer density of its bass—the kind of low-end blowout that would put any soundsystem to the test.
