Petersburg opens new park to honor local veterans

PETERSBURG − Against the backdrop of Veterans Day , Petersburg leaders and citizens gathered to dedicate a downtown park designed to honor the city's past, present and future veterans. The Nov. 11 ceremony dedicated Rotary Memorial Peace Park, a 9,700-square-foot former parking lot repurposed into a greenspace in which to relax and reflect. It is bordered by East Washington, North Jefferson and Franklin streets. Peace Park is the brainchild of Richard Taylor, a longtime Petersburg resident and civic leader who started work on it a few years ago after receiving a call from someone alerting him to the condition of the old parking lot. "It really was a labor of love," Taylor told the audience. Through the generosity of local businesses, Petersburg Rotarians and a $15,000 grant from the Rotary Foundation, the old asphalt was ripped out and replaced with soil and sod − and all done without spending a single city penny. The size of the park is 9,726 square feet. Taylor said that number was chosen for a reason. "I say 9,726 because if it had been 10,000 square feet, I would have had to apply to the federal government for a permit to get rid of [the

Savers opens massive new thrift store in Chesterfield

Savers, the massive secondhand chain with a devoted following, is opening its first Richmond-area store in Midlothian on Thursday . Why it matters: The national for-profit retailer is a thrifter's paradise, known for its selection of designer pieces, vintage finds and home decor. Until now, the closest location has been about 80 miles away in Woodbridge . The big picture: The nearly 29,000-square-foot store is taking over the former American Freight furniture store at 9131 Midlothian Turnpike in the Arch Village Shopping Center. When news of its expansion hit social media, one commenter said they'd even written to Savers asking it to open here. But some thrifters have also criticized the chain's prices, saying "I fear the name is becoming misleading." The good news: Shoppers can get 20% off their next purchase by donating eligible items . If you go: Savers will be open daily from 9am-9pm except for Sunday, when it's 10am-7pm. The Savers Thrift sign outside the incoming Henrico location.

A company spokesperson told Axios they're aiming for a spring 2027 opening. Editor's note: This story has
