    One more time RTD shows that it is a Petersburg booster. Kudos to the folks at RTD for looking through the misty veil and seeing the wonders of the old town.

    The reporter I believe has local connection. The RTD is not a supporter of Petersburg, it continually reinforces to readers in the Richmond Metro that Petersburg is the dregs.

    Good to have enemies like this. I’ve read a bunch of favorable articles in the RTD about Petersburg and friends have commented about them too.

    (Hoo-wee, what typos in the original post. I threw the post up in a hurry b/f zipping out the door. I’ve now got the post reading something more akin to English.)

    Good to see you in the press Bob and Hope. Congrats!

    I’ve been a fan of Petersburg since I was a little boy reading Civil War Stories. I’m so glad to see the old town reborn.
