Back on December 5, 2008 I posted an entry about a Venture Richmond Forum highlighting downtown development projects recently completed, under construction, or proposed. The gist - I was impressed by the breadth and depth of stuff going on in Richmond, as well as the program put on by Venture Richmond. The post went out into the Internet ether with nary a ripple, but for one snarky comment accusing me of "drinking the Kool-Aid." Well, maybe I did, but I L-O-V-E my hometown, and when it comes to progress in the River City, I'd rather be an optimist and root for the glass to be half full.
Yesterday's Richmond Times-Dispatch did a cover article that followed Mayor Wilder around as he basically covered the exact same ground as the Venture Richmond Forum. Maybe 7:30 a.m. was too early for him, too. If you missed the Forum, here's the article. Worth clicking on if only for the picture of Doug in a hard hat. Priceless.

You should feel lucky, you've been blessed by the Don.
