Santa seemingly is coming down the chimney in a storefront on Grace Street between 5th and 6th streets in the old Miller & Rhoads building in Downtown Richmond. Santa Claus, the legendary figure who is the traditional patron of Christmas in the United States and other coun- tries, brings gifts to children (and many grown-ups, too). His popular image is based on traditions associated with Saint Nicholas, a fourth-century Christian saint, according to Britannica. Miller & Rhoads was a Virginia-based department store chain with its Richmond location known for its “SantaLand” upstairs attraction. It closed in 1990, according to Wikipedia.

Virginia state Sen. Jennifer McClellan, right, and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine are shown after voting Tuesday in a “firehouse” primary for the 4th Congressional District at Diversity Richmond. Sen. McClellan hopes to succeed the late Rep. A. Donald McEachin, who was re-elected to the seat last month, but died 20 days later. The winner of Tueday’s election would be almost guaranteed to win the special election set for Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2023, given that the district that includes Eastern Henrico County and Richmond — and stretches through Petersburg into Southside Virginia — is rated solidly Democratic. If elected, Sen. McClellan will be the first Black woman sent from Virginia to Congress.
