Community Conversation - Shockoe Bottom's Future
Join the Valentine Richmond History Center as we collaborate with Richmond Magazine, TMI Consulting Inc., the Future of Richmond's Past and Arcadia restaurant to offer our next series of "Community Conversations." Each month we will discuss a locale in the city spanning Shockoe Bottom to the Boulevard. Attendees will participate in a discussion with Susan Winiecki, editor of Richmond Magazine, who will facilitate a conversation on the significant events and changes that have occurred in Shockoe Bottom over time. By the end of the evening attendees will have a comprehensive view of the history of Shockoe Bottom and how it was molded into the locality that we see today. This will be the fourth iteration of the "Community Conversations" series. The purpose of the series is to engage the community in a dialogue about the region’s past and how that past can positively shape our collective future. The more people that join in the conversation, the more productive our efforts become, and the easier it will be for everyone to see ourselves in the history of the region. Free and open to the public. For information, call (804) 649-0711 ext. 322 Please note that pre-registration is not required. Admission is on a first come, first served basis and SPACE IS LIMITED! Please plan to arrive early for parking and registration. 2014 Schedule Shockoe Bottom's Future - January 7, 6-8pm at Arcadia Monroe Park - February 4, 6-8pm at The Nile Riverfront Development - March 4, 6-8pm at F.W.
