City plans to break ground at Lumpkin's Jail site http://www.richmond.com/news/local/city-of-richmond/article_66f102b8-4d89-52fa-b87d-62fd4464e6e9.html

Personally I enjoy the architectural style of the current colosseum I think it would look more modern with an aluminum / chrome finish and an oculus that could open and close.

If you were a city and given a federal and state grant you would take it and use it, that is exactly what happened with this train shed, the heads of power made the right choice in redoing this icon of Richmond's industrial heritage. Please do more research before complaining on this form. " with 90 percent of that funding coming through federal and state transportation grants" - Style Weekly I am a Richmond-er and If the federal and state agencies wish to invest in this capital I do not think is is appalling as you stated but wonderful !

Has anyone seen how the development along Hull Street and Reynolds South is going ?

Is this McDonalds across the street from the old one still going to be built ? http://eservices.ci.richmond.va.us/applications/clerkstracking/getPDF.asp?NO=2014-261-2015-11

new neighborhood plan (PDF) for the area around Virginia Union University, Brook Road, Lombardy Street, and Chamberlayne Avenue. It’s a complex and diverse neighborhood with old housing, new housing, and buildings zoned for retail, office, industrial, and institutional uses spread out over about 520 acres. This new plan looks to create a more cohesive “college town” environment while protecting the existing single-family neighborhoods in the area. Check it out:

The existing building to my best understanding also so I don't waist this posting. Interested in development going on in Church Hill? Check out these CAR Considerations. http://chpn.net/news/tag/car/
