Two weeks into his final semester at Richmond, Geoff Weathersby has already raised more than $6,000 toward a memorial scholarship fund for his father, Terry Weathersby, using only social media. Weathersby's father lost a five-year battle with head-and-neck cancer in October 2011; his family decided that in lieu of flowers, they wanted people to donate to a fund.

Lately Spiders have been spotted crawling to the heart of VCU territory for a great little restaurant, The Black Sheep. The place is a hole-in-the-wall in the recently gentrified Carver neighborhood of downtown Richmond, but it is far from a dive. The restaurant is a revamped townhouse with exposed brick walls that are covered with a collection of paintings and art. It is a cozy, small space that is very popular, so prepare to wait outside as I did (I would not recommend a visit to The Black Sheep on a very cold day!).

While spending six months in a foreign country without the radio blasting out the latest pop hits and Bruno Mars-driven rap songs, I had to start listening to the local music to get some fresh songs to ride the tube with. Because I was in England, I already knew a fair amount of bands such as Coldplay and Mumford and Sons from their breakout hits in America. It was the tips from my flatmates that allowed me to bring back my iPod filled with new songs and artists who I had never heard of, and who are frankly better than most of the stuff that goes mainstream here. I listen to every type of music, but I am going to go ahead and throw out a few artists and songs that you may never have heard of, in hopes of getting some new fans for the bands.

For 25 years, the city of Richmond has been taking the art of Christmas decoration to a new level of tackiness. In the spirit of the holiday season, a group of families have taken on the task of decorating their houses, from lawn to roof with holiday cheer. To these dedicated Richmonders, there is no such thing as too many lights. This once informal tradition has been organized and codified, with maps, limo tours and a master list known as the Richmond Tacky Lights Tour.

The University of Richmond Department of Theater and Dance presented a masterful production of Lorraine Hansberry's seminal Civil Rights-era work this past weekend, "A Raisin in the Sun". The African-American poet Langston Hughes more than six decades ago begins the play with a poem that reads, "What happens to a dream deferred? / Does it dry up / like a raisin in the sun?"

Angela's is cute. No other word describes it better. I give it high marks for being close to campus (it's about 5 minutes away), but it is definitely a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The interior is cozy, and familiar, and is filled mostly by families and old friends catching up. From what I've heard, Angela's has a strong camp following of devoted customers that don't seem to mind the sometimes brusque wait staff.
