From our team

RICtoday staff here. We receive hundreds of thank you emails every week, and often you ask how you can support us. That’s why we’ve created this campaign with a goal to raise $2,500 by the end of the week. If you’ve gotten something out of being subscribed to RICtoday, like finding that life-changing concert in our Events section. Or using our City Guides to plan the perfect way to spend the day with family, we couldn’t be more honored to be a part of your life — and we’re calling on you now to help support our mission.

Civic

🚗 3 reasons to buckle up

Presented by City of Richmond

Know someone who skips the seat belt? Here’s why buckling up could save your life, according to the City of Richmond:
  • A crash at 30 mph feels like falling from a three-story building.
  • Without a seat belt, safety features like airbags can’t protect you.
  • A fall from a step ladder can cause serious injury — and those same forces are at play in a crash, doubling the risk of death with every 10 mph increase in speed.

Happy Monday, Richmond. My time in the city is drawing to a close after this week, but I won’t be too far away. Plus, I’ll be back in RVA this fall for the Iron Blossom Music Festival.
