the juice:
Virginia State University no longer likely to hold Presidential Debate, from 12 on your side. It would have been the first HBCU to host a presidential debate.
The last presidential debate held in the area was in 1992 at the University of Richmond. That year 3rd party candidate Ross Perot garnered a significant share of the popular vote and altered the election. Could RFK Jr. do something similar this year?
the pulp:

Infills adding 11 million-dollar homes near Patterson and Libbie via Bizsense. “If you look at what’s happened on Libbie between Cary and Patterson, they’re tearing down million-dollar houses and putting up $2 million houses,” Lloyd said. “That whole area has gone crazy in terms of desirability and costs.”
the cycle:
Henrico County is asking for feedback on it’s Dickens Road and Staples Mill Road Safety Improvements. Fill out the survey here. It’s the exact route I take to bike to visit my friends on Northside.

The study comment period will close May 31, 2024. Shout out to the CheersRVA reader who sent me the survey!
the vibe:
