Fear & Loathing North of Richmond
Last Friday, I traveled the 30-odd minutes north of Richmond to Atlantic Union Bank After Hours at the Servpro Pavilion in Doswell, Virginia, next to Kings Dominion amusement park. Not my typical weekend excursion, but I was on assignment to cover the Oliver Anthony Music concert, billed tonight simply as Oliver Anthony (the Music part inferred, I guess). The show marked the kickoff to the bank’s summer concert series and the Farmville singer’s de facto homecoming show. So where’d he go, you might ask? Where does anyone you’ve never heard of before go to make their mark? The place is called Viral … surely you’ve heard of and seen it before, or scrolled past it repeatedly, in a near-constant death-spiral loop. Eventually you stop and have a look, like it, maybe send it to a friend.

The View From Swamptown: Christina Chase’s life is a reminder of the power of a mother’s love
You know, Mothers Day was envisioned as an opportunity for all of us to pause a moment in our busy lives and reflect upon the dedication of, and sacrifices made by, the women who brought us into this world: our moms. And, although there are countless stories of moms here in South County that have overcome incredible odds while raising their children, this year I’d like to stop a bit myself and contemplate the remarkable dedication of one mom in particular: Christina (White) Chase, a resident of 19th century Wickford.
