It takes a village.

Thanks for the kind response to my sleeping bags & canopies request. The immediate need has been met but I will continue to accept any additional donations - they'll definitely find a home.

It's important to remember that we're handing out band-aids to address the symptoms. That's the easiest part. Curing the ailment requires so much more effort over a long period of time, but it's work that we have an obligation to take on.

Give to and . They're solving the problems.

Thanks to for the inspiration on this project.

It's been a long time coming, but they're here now!!

The Latin Place just opened their doors for the first time, 15 minutes ago. A taste of Puerto Rico right here in Midtown. 2420 12th St. I'll be eating lunch there later today and I'll report back.

The neighborhood already smells better. As always, support locally owned and locally operated businesses. Your money stays in the community longer and does more good.

If you aren't familiar with the historical significance of Pierce Street here in Lynchburg, it's well worth the time and effort to learn more. A good place to start is the book "Inspiration Street" by Darrell Laurant. Message me or come see me and I'll loan you one.

Then go visit Shaun at the Anne Spencer House (), check out the tennis court at the Dr Walter Johnson house, or help with the community garden , plus so much more.

Community showing up to be heard.

Attended the kickoff meeting for the city's comprehensive plan overhaul.

This plan will provide "guidance for the next 20 years of investments and decision-making for land use and development, community facilities, housing, transportation, economic development, and more."

The bulk of the document will be created by the consultant, Berkley Group, the Planning Commission, and the Economic Development Authority.

Members of the Planning Commission and EDA were in attendance and brainstormed about what's good and bad about LYH and what goals and projects should be focused on.

FYI, here are some demographics I put together on those PC and EDA members in attendance.

White - 92%
Male - 77%
White male - 70%

Representation matters.
