This article has been updated since it first appeared in print. It’s been a rough couple of months for Richmond’s financial services staff. On April 21, Director of Revenue Administration Jamie Atkinson resigned after 8,300 property tax rebate checks out of 60,000 issued were addressed to the wrong payee in March, and additional errors were found over the following month. The city’s quick fix also caused some checks to bounce, while some erroneous checks were cashed.

When I was growing up, family get-togethers were often bookended by long games of mahjong, a tile-based game for four players similar to Rummikub or gin rummy. Every time the paternal side of my family gathered, the evening would end with a mahjong marathon, and, excluded from the game as the youngest kid in the family, I would flit from player to player, trying not to divulge with my wide eyes what I saw on their racks of tiles.

Here We Go Again Just months after the incident at Richmond’s water treatment plant earlier this year, parts of the city are once again subject to a boil water advisory announced May 27. And once again, food and beverage businesses in the affected areas (Carytown, the Fan, large areas in North Side, Manchester and more) are having to navigate operations amid the outage.

Tucked away in the annex of the Richmond Public Library’s main branch on Franklin Street, around 35 chess enthusiasts spanning generations listen intently as Spenser Kearns relives a lost match against a chess master. Participants occasionally chime in, asking why he made certain moves, or protest as he shows them some of his fatal mistakes. Kearns was speaking to members of RVA Pieces, a nonprofit chess club with a goal of growing and maintaining the city’s chess community.
Filtration Investigation

Clogged filters in Richmond’s water treatment plant on May 27 caused flashbacks to January’s water crisis for many residents. The problems began soon after midnight as Department of Public Utilities workers addressed an issue of high turbidity, or cloudiness produced by high amounts of particles in the water. A press release issued later that morning said that, despite the filters clogging, enough water was still being produced to maintain safe system pressure levels.

For a midsized city, Richmond has an outsized share of native sons and daughters making waves in the world. You probably heard about Mekhi Becton, the Highland Springs High graduate who played on the winning Philadelphia Eagles squad during this year’s Super Bowl. And, judging by the speed at which her concerts are selling out, you’re definitely familiar with Grammy Award-winning musician Lucy Dacus, who’s from Mechanicsville. We could namedrop all day.

A retired pilot, Richmonder Tim Heath has flown more planes than he can count. One of his most memorable flights, however, was as a passenger on a trip to the Czech Republic. There, he connected with someone who died before he was born but nonetheless made a significant impact on his life: his uncle, 2nd Lt. Theo Heath, a World War II pilot who was killed in action.

Growing on Trees While strawberries and blueberries can steal all the glory, there’s a fellow juicy contender that is having its seasonal moment: mulberries. The sweet-tart fruit is the star of Blue Bee Cider’s Fanfare, a beloved selection that is making its return after a hiatus. The cider features 100% locally foraged mulberries that have been collected by the community, and it’s one of the few mulberry-infused ciders in the country.
