The agenda for the November 24th City Council meeting (PDF) includes a few local items:
November 14, 2008
The RTD has an article about little old Pump House Park, sharing that an event there last week drew 600 people, and plans are in the works to open it up on weekends to guests and boatrides. The James River Park system is considering it for a visitor center, for which they would pour $10 million into the facility.
The 4-acre park is beautiful, but they should work on cleaning it up before they move forward with grand plans. The many times I’ve been there, I’ve been amazed at the number of sketchy people milling about.

Have you noticed the new digital billboard illuminating I-195 about a half-mile south of the Laburnum exit? It’s facing both directions and is currently advertising space availability and the billboard company’s name (Lamar).
I must say, it was sure effective distracting. I hope we won’t see more pile-ups on I-195 N during morning rush hour and I-195 S in the evening.

At 7:55 AM, I was the ~600th person to vote at Albert Hill. There was no line and things were running very smoothly. Hopefully that continues the rest of the day.

That’s the word. Also, there’ll be a new restaurant moving into the Ginger Thai spot. No word on whether it will be yet another thai restaurant. Update from the owner: Ginger Thai will now have 2 locations on the same block. See comments…
