For a thriving Richmond, start at home, by Danny Avula
For more than 20 years, my wife, Mary Kay, and I have raised our family in Richmond’s East End. It’s the place where we cheered on our kids as they played soccer for the Powhatan Community Center, made lifelong friends sitting on our neighbors’ porches, and connected with families at regular events at Chimborazo Elementary School. But for too many people – residents who have lived here for generations and newcomers alike – the neighborhood we love calling home is becoming unaffordable and out of reach.
