The Richmond Police are investigating a recent hit and run on North Boulevard at Kensington. The accident occurred just after 2 AM on Saturday, November 7, when a dark-colored Jeep Wrangler (allegedly driven by a male) struck a pedestrian and fled the scene north on the Boulevard.
According to the police report:
The pedestrian, a female, 23, was almost across North Boulevard when the northbound Jeep struck her, causing several broken bones. Her injuries are considered serious but not life-threatening.
The RTD reported that the new Cary Street mini-mart was robbed on Tuesday night around 9:30. No injuries were reported.
An employee said man wearing a black mask and carrying a handgun demanded money, and when the employee complied, the robber fled on foot.

The RTD reported this morning that graffiti artists tagged the old Julian’s restaurant property on W. Broad Street (near the Boulevard). This building is owned by Sam Moore (of Velvet infamy), who is due in court today for alleged ABC violations. You may also recall that Moore and Velvet have been in the news lately for some other artwork involving the President.
Ross Catrow posted these photos of the graffiti earlier today.
Whoever did this ‘art’ isn’t shy, leaving this note on the front door:
“To Whom it may concern
- Graffiti is a beautiful art form which is unappreciated in today’s
society. We hope the work done here will intrigue and stimulate the
minds of many
-S.M.”
11/7/09, 2:40 a.m., 1200 block of West Broad Street - Three males reported they were robbed at gunpoint by two unknown males.
11/7/09,
12:15 p.m., 2400 block of Stuart Avenue - A female reported she was robbed at gunpoint by an unknown male. (The police report says p.m., but maybe they mean a.m.? If not, that’s pretty bold.)
11/6/09, 5:50 p.m., 700 block of Harrison Street - A female reported she was robbed at gunpoint by three unknown males. (The police report didn’t specify north or south Harrison, but it said 4th district, so I’m assuming south. But even so, that’s just south of the Fan and someone was robbed, at gunpoint, at 6 o’clock in the evening!)

RVANews has the details on a quick costume change as Fan restaurant spot Easy Street (2401 W. Main Street) is now F.W. Sullivan’s.
Management is taking a theme approach with this new venture, as the restaurant’s specials and events will be based on where fictional character F.W. Sullivan is currently “adventuring” around the world. It should also be noted that F.W. Sullivan will soon have his own Facebook page. Stay tuned for that.
F.W. Sullivan’s is currently open just for dinner (5PM-2 AM) but expects to add lunch hours soon.
