BUCKS FOR BOOKS - Tyshawna Hankerson, right, is all smiles as she and Tracey Oliver, vice president for administration at the Richmond Free Press, hold a ceremonial replica of the $1,000 book scholarship award to help Ms. Hankerson purchase books this fall when she enters Virginia Commonwealth University. The Free Press joined other area businesses and organizations to provide book scholarship awards through the KLM Scholarship Foundation Inc.

Martin, who founded the Richmond-based nonprofit. It has awarded nearly $150,000 in book scholarships since its founding in 2002.

This optimistic slogan just seems like a bad joke. It’s attached to the front of this long-vacant glass palace in Downtown. The “Building A Brighter Future” slogan sits above the entry to the one-time food court and restaurant space of the long-gone 6th Street Marketplace, a failed Downtown shopping mall, most of which was torn down.

For several years, private developers offered proposals to transform the building into apartments, but the city showed little interest and nothing came of the ideas. So, for now, the brighter future remains on hold.
