Cityscape //Last April, it was just a hole in the ground. Now the $6.3 million Eggleston Plaza is taking shape at 2nd and Leigh streets in Jackson Ward. When completed in 2017, the project will include 31 apartments and a first-floor restaurant. The building occupies the former site of Eggleston Hotel, one of the few places that civil rights leaders, entertainers and other African-Americans could stay during the era of segregation when most city hotels barred non-white guests. The old hotel collapsed and the site was cleared in 2009. The plaza sits across from the renovated Hippodrome Theater and the Taylor Mansion entertainment, restaurant and residential complex. The development includes another 10 townhouse-style apartments at 1st and Jackson streets that already are being rented.

Party like it’s 2017! // Children from around Metro Richmond throw confetti and whoop it up at their own “Noon Year’s Eve Bash” last Saturday at the Children’s Museum of Richmond. The New Year’s Eve celebration, held 12 hours before most adult celebrations, included a grand parade, led by the museum mascot, Seymour the Dinosaur, and a toast with juice boxes. “Anna” and “Elsa,” characters from the highly popular 2013 Disney film “Frozen,” joined the youngsters in ushering in 2017 and learning about New Year’s celebrations and customs from around the world.
