World of Mirth is an awesome toy store in Richmond VA. I decided it needed to be LEGOified.

Wayback RVA (146)

Richmond, Virginia This excellent view of the Richmond Skyline shows part of the old city as well as the modern with the Medical College of the Virginia group of buildings at the west end of the Marshall Street Bridge. The new Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike can be seen running under the west or far side of the Marshall Street span.

How different the skyline looks 60 years later. You’ve still got the Highway Annex Building and the VCU School of Medicine anchoring the gateway to the downtown, center-left in the postcard, and center-right in the photo.

They have to erase history to rewrite history.  I just can’t on this logic.

PHOTOS: New upscale takeout food concept “The Big Kitchen” opens in Scott’s Addition

By Madison Manske

A renovated diesel engine repair shop is home to a new food concept in Scott’s Addition. The Big Kitchen opened its takeout and delivery-based business on Wednesday, with the vision of creating meals from scratch that people can enjoy at home.

Restaurant co-owner Susan Davenport said they’ve been working on the space for a little over a year now.

The renovations include a storefront where customers can come in and pick up their order, as well as a walk-in cooler and a smokehouse in the back.

“This was the original bay where the semis would come through and drop their engines to be repaired,” Davenport said.

Customers can choose to drive through the covered garage to pick up their order from an employee or peruse the storefront options inside.

The menu offers a variety of items ranging from nacho kits and wood-fired frozen pizzas to bottles of wine and packs of beer.

“We have a really great team of chefs behind it,” Davenport said. “We have a lot of great sourcing with local purveyors, whether it’s our cheese or our meats, or especially in the growing season, the farms that we work with.”

The four partners behind The Big Kitchen formed Big Kitchen Hospitality, a local group that also operates Tazza Kitchen in the West End along with an outpost in Scott’s Addition.

The group said it has a staff of more than 300 employees working in its six full-service restaurants, three which are located in the Carolinas. Davenport said the online ordering technology and experienced food staff distinguishes The Big Kitchen from other carry-out concepts.

“You can order ahead and order several meals for a few days or some sides or frozen pizzas, and when you select your time for it to be ready, all you have to do is pull into our bay and we bring your order out,” Davenport said.

The Big Kitchen plans to launch food delivery service next month and will use refrigerated vans to keep the food fresh. Each item comes with heating instructions on the top label.

Jeff Grant, a BKH partner, said numerous people were involved in many trial runs to test recipes, along with the process of packaging and heating the prepared meals.

“Wood-fired cooking is still prominent, and we’ve included a few Tazza favorites, but we are excited about the new dishes and flavors that this team has put together,” Grant said.

Davenport said The Big Kitchen will offer customers the option to bring back used packaging for the staff to compost.

“I hate plastic, and so most of our packaging is compostable, and we actually compost everything organic here at this kitchen,” Davenport said. “Every month, we compost almost two tons of materials.”

The grab-and-go style market in the storefront offers freshly prepared items including sandwiches, smoked meats and salads. Storefront hours are 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 2:30-6:30 p.m. on Sunday. The Big Kitchen is located at 1600 Altamont Ave.

Richmond City Council supports Brook Road bike lane – CBS6 1/29/19 I wonder if they’ll get tired of supporting the lane?

Again Double Century!

It’s taken a while to reach this mark, but RVA Legends has finally joined its sister series, Must-See! RVA, and topped the 200-post threshold! Thanks to all who read, like, reblog, and comment; your feedback helps keep this going. Thanks also to the folks at RVAHub who reprint these each week, one location at a time.

For the rest of you, if you’ve ever been curious about the places and people that have disappeared from our landscape, look no further. There are hours of content to lose yourself in that will easily distract you from bothersome chores, work, and visiting your in-laws, so what are you waiting for?
