💬 FROM ME TO YOU…
Is anyone else as ready for spring as I am? (Not fake spring. The real deal – pollen and all.) I’ll pop a Zyrtec to enjoy the redbuds, cherry trees, and the early blooms along the river. All day, every day. I was away for just a few days and returned home to a transformed RVA. Forsythia in bloom, warmer breezes, patios open, more people out on the James, and festivals starting to ramp up for warmer weather. It just might be my favorite season here. (Even though my white car is now green.) This issue, we’ve got the full list of goings on, a spotlight on Jackson Ward, and a wow salmon dish that is sure to impress.
As always, reach out if you have Richmond questions or real estate questions! Happy almost Easter and Happy Happy Spring!

📍RVA Spotlight: Jackson Ward
There’s a story behind the Bojangles statue in Jackson Ward that most people have never heard, and once you do, you will never drive through that intersection the same way again This week on the blog, I’m spotlighting a bit of what I learned about one of Richmond’s most historically significant neighborhoods, where to eat (Lillie Pearl, Mama J’s, and a really lovely Ethiopian cafe), and why this is one of the most compelling places to put down roots in RVA. Come take a walk with me.

🍴 What I’m Cooking Right Now: Miso Salmon
My son and I were in New York recently, and had a miso-marinated black cod that we’re still thinking about. Like, genuinely still thinking about it. The kind of dish that makes you go quiet at the table.
Black cod is a little harder to track down here in RVA, but salmon? Salmon is everywhere. And it turns out miso and salmon are (almost) just as magical together. April is the month of my son’s birthday, and while he may not be home for it, he loves fish, loves Japanese food, and this is a dinner that feels special without requiring a plane ticket or a hefty tip. Steamed rice, something green, and you’re done. Make it for someone special, even if that special someone is you!
