Demolition of the old Franklin Street Gymnasium on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University is underway. The long vacant building at 817 W. Franklin St. is being cleared to make way for a $121 million, six-story building that will be devoted to classes and programs involving STEM—science, technology, engineering and math. The goal is to increase the number of VCU graduates heading into those high-demand fields. Construction of a new building on the old gym site has been planned for some time and gained the green light a year ago from the General Assembly and Gov. Ralph S. Northam.

When the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures disrupted plans to sell Girl Scout cookies from booths throughout Central Virginia, that didn’t stop the resourceful Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

That’s 12,000 boxes of Thin Mints, S’mores, Trefoils and Lemonades and other popular cookie flavors that will be distributed to families and individuals in need during this critical time. Here, employees of Dunmar Moving Systems deliver the Girl Scout cookies on Wednesday to the Feed More warehouse in Richmond’s North Side.

Isaiah “Prince Trombone” Robinson serenades passing motorists as fellow musician, Robert Johnson III, accompanies him on an electric drum outside The National in the 700 block of East Broad Street. The venue currently is closed because of the coronavirus. The two 23- year-old musicians began their impromptu concerts after they were laid off from their full-time gigs. Their goal: To deliver some upbeat sounds to counter the pandemic’s gloom and to possibly earn some spare change from the few pedestrians in Downtown. Other in Richmond musicians have been sharing their talents on their porches or in parks. One example is saxophonist James “Plunky” Branch, who regularly turns his porch into a solo concert platform for those within earshot in his West End neighborhood.
