The proposed boundaries for the TIF district are the Downtown Expressway, 1st Street, Interstate 95 and 10th Street. The blue-color blocks represent sites where the new Coliseum, a new convention hotel, restaurants, office buildings and new apartments would be built.

Stephen Rivera of Richmond carries his message on a sign outside the team’s training camp on West Leigh Street. He has picketed against the team’s racist name each year since the team began practicing in Richmond in 2013. He has no suggestion for a new name but says anything is fine “as long as it’s not something that denigrates native people or any of us.” A U.S. Supreme Court decision in June regarding “immoral” or “scandalous” trademarks may bolster the team’s legal efforts to keep its offensive, trademarked name.

The city is still trying to complete work at the market and on July 1 took back control of the market from the Enrichment Foundation. Kathy Emerson and Karen Grisevich were installed as provisional managers last month. The new managers said plans are afoot for events and other programming at the market plaza possibly starting in September. However, there is no indication of any plans for future activity on the market’s Facebook page or on the city’s website. A private group apparently continues its music-filled night market on the second Saturday of each month and yoga classes on Wednesday evenings. (Sandra Sellars/Richmond Free Press)

Timothy Christian, right, waits on Ralph Lee in continuing a 50-year family tradition of selling fruits and vegetables at the 17th Street Market in ShockoeBottom.(The name recently was changed from the 17th Street Farmers’ Market.) Mr. Christian is the lone regular vendor in the revamped, but still struggling market that has yet to regain its panache after a three-year facelift for which the city spent $3.5 million. Sisters Rosa Fleming and Evelyn Luceal Allen, other longtime vendors, have to be reinstated; they now sell produce from a stand on Franklin Street in a parking lot across from the market.
