Click here‘Shire Celebration’ kicks off 400th anniversary
|
Henrico County officially kicked off its 400th anniversary yesterday with the Henrico Shire Celebration at the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce. The event was designed to celebrate each of the 13 other localities whose present-day land was located within the original borders of the Henrico Shire. Those localities are Albemarle, Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Chesterfield, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Goochland, Nelson and Powhatan counties and the cities of Charlottesville, Colonial Heights and Richmond. Numerous Henrico officials were joined at the event by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, officials from many of the other 13 localities, a delegation from Henrico's sister county – Essex County, England – and other guests. The county's 400th anniversary continues later this month with the "Hunt for Henrico" History Jan. 29 at Deep Run Park. (Highlights of the event are shown in the video above.) |

Ironfish delights with a variety of tasty catches
I was overjoyed to head back for another meal at Ironfish by Pescados, considered the Best New Restaurant in 2011 by both the Richmond Times Dispatch and Richmond Magazine. I agree whole-heartedly with their ratings. Since I first visited the restaurant for my birthday in January, I was waiting for the perfect special occasion to return. I couldn’t wait another year, obviously.
Run by the same restaurateurs as Pescados Latin Caribbean Seafood in Midlothian and Eat in Oregon Hill, Ironfish offers the same unique dishes and top-level customer service. > Read more.
