(PHX) LGO: Why all the haters?
I happen to enjoy all of the LGO restaurants: La Grande Orange, Postino, Chelsea's Kitchen, and Radio Milano. I was even impressed by their catering at a recent party (at which I was a guest). I am usually pretty critical of restaurants, so I am curious to learn why others may feel differently.
I'm not a "hater" by any means. My take -- the pizzeria is very, very, good -- good food, good value, reasonably good experience. The salads are also good and I hear the burgers are bueno. I don't dig Postino at all. Liked it the first time, but after that, the reality -- ordinary wine, mediocre food, lovely building, way too much scene for its substance. The grocery? Paltry. Not much there. Hanging over all this is the general hassle dealing with it. It's in a neighborhood, like mine, so I'm reluctant to impose, but then I can't see doing valet -- it's not Westwood or Russian Hill, y'know? The hearsay I've had on Radio is negative, FWIW -- haven't sampled it; the hearsay on Chelsea's (haven't sampled it) is divided. Do they really need valet parking out there? Really ...
re: misohungrychewlow
I don't think of their valet service as pretention, rather a neccessity. They DO have limited parking, and valet seems to be the best way to deal with it. On a few occasions, when I didn't feel like walking the mile from my house, or paying for valet, I have parked on the street about a block away. And there is parking available in the lots at many times of the day.
re: hollyeve
At 40th and Campbell, it is necessary to manage the surplus of vehicles since the transit options aren't very attractive for most of the people who choose to drive there, I would prefer pay parking to the valet thing -- I'm a city boy from way back, having paid for parking, trains, buses ... I cheerfully (er, semi-grudgingly) pay for parking and eat frequently in downtown Tempe. But there is no justification for valets at Chelsea's! That's what many find objectionable. Half of a half-empty parking lot roped off -- just another disengenouus way to seperate a hungry hombre from his cash ...
re: misohungrychewlow
Yes! Half-empty roped off parking lots enrage me to no end. Ever try to find parking at places like the Biltmore, only to realize that cars are circling endlessly because the only available lots are valet-reserved? Plus, the lots dont even have cars in them.
re: misohungrychewlow
I appreciate the valet option. It makes it pretty effortless to stop by. You think -- you could have a more expensive meal elsewhere, but even factoring in the $5 to valet, the pizzas are still a great value, for the ingredients they use.
I think some people have a mental block when it comes to paying for parking, I know I used to. Now, If I can street park without imposing, I'll do it, but I don't borrow pointless aggravation if it looks full. Life's too short.
i happen to really like the food of LGO and Postino. Cheleas and Radio... eh. But the thing is this: the no reservations/no viable parking thing is out of hand.
We like breakfast at LGO. We've been for the pizza as well and thought it was pretty good.
We don't live in the neighborhood though, or even central Phoenix for that matter. We've stopped going. Driving up from Chandler and then not being able to find parking anywhere is too frustrating. I've tried stopping in for lunch on weekday afternoons when I've been in the area for tennis matches...and had trouble with parking even at that time.
Haven't tried any of their other ventures. Can't say we hate LGO either...we've just pretty much given up. It's good but not good enough to be worth the distance from home or the difficulty parking.
i like lgo and postino. haven't had a good meal at chelsea's kitchen since it opened, and radio milano is just meh.
after having spent a ton of time at the three fountains, the al beadle condo complex, with an s.o. for several years, we gave up going to postino unless it was an off off off hour because you'd never get in. even if we walked from 3 fountains. same for lgo - i'm glad you're able to get a parking spot at 8 am, but that hasn't been our experience for the last 3 years.
Parking is a pain but we love LGO and having Arlecchino's right there. Breakfast, pizza. Happy to fight the parking anytime.
I think this topic may forever be mired in controversy based on the parking situation, similar to how PB is scrutinized for it's long wait times. There is also the critique that it's trying to be something it's not, and it should not be praised because it reminds a lot of people of somewhere else. Aside from all of that, I've rarely heard many critiques on the FOOD, which is what I'm most concerned about. As a local, I've actually never really had a problem with parking at LGO, and if I do anticipate it's going to be a problem, I won't go or I'll take my bike; simple as that. Now, if it required a 30 min drive, I would probably be annoyed at another possible 15 min parking dilemma.
Postino doesn't do much for me, Chelsea's seems to generate mixed reviews although I've enjoyed most of the meals I've had there, so it's LGO for breakfast/lunch or the pizzeria for me. So while I understand some of the gripes by "the haters", I just don't listen until I start to see a decline in the quality of offerings.
re: azhotdish
good points!! the food is still good at lgo and postino. i just adjust my expectations about when to go and how to get there. which is essentially the same strategy i employ for pb!!!
My dislike of all restaurants owned by LGO Hospitality has nothing to do with the food, which has always been reasonably good. Instead, it is derived from the policies, practices, and attitudes of LGO's owners and fans. Specifically:
-- No surprise here: the parking. The orignal duo at 40th and Campbell, LGO and Postino, were more popular than expected, creating a parking crunch. That's entirely forgiveable. What is less understandable is the reckless expansion. It was simply irresponsible to open Radio Milano on the same corner. Moreoever, there are even long-rumored plans for a taco stand on the postage stamp lot between RM and 40th St. It's amazing to me that the City of Phoenix hassles Downtown business owners, who have access to ample street parking and garages, over not having enough spaces while allowing this reckless expansion to occur at 40th and Campbell.
Yes, the valet is helpful and worthwhile if I'm going to spend $50 on dinner and drinks, but is it worthwhile for a $10 breakfast or lunch? In addition, the proliferation of overcrowded valet lots in front of Postino and RM has had an aesthetic impact. The whole stretch of Campbell just west of 40th now looks like a big, jumbled parking lot on both sides. The original charming look of LGO / Postino is marred by the car chaos.
To make matters worse, LGO ownership has never displayed any contrition about the parking situation and some LGO fans claim limited parking is actually a feature that makes LGO more "urban." Nonsense. If LGO wants to be "urban," it should open a business Downtown rather than in a neighborhood of single-family homes. Of course, it is possible to avoid the parking hassle by taking Valley Metro Route 60, which passes right by 40th and Campbell, but given the number of luxury cars and SUVS in the valet lot, I think relatively few LGO customers would deign to take the bus.
-- The no-photography policy. Want to take some photos of your food your use on this site, a blog, or just for personal enjoyment? Doing so is not allowed -- even without flash -- without advance permission of LGO management. Such an unusually restrictive policy is rare, but when it is exists, it is found more often in big corporate chains than in local independents. Of course, with five restaurants in Phoenix and expansion to Pasadena, LGO is looking more like a chain all the time.
-- The no-reservations policies. I can understand not allowing reservations for inexpensive pizza and sandwich meals, but reservations should be taken at RM and Chelsea's. The refusal to do so is just needlessly unfriendly to customers.
-- Unimpressive merchandise in the grocery part of LGO. Sure, there's MJ bread and some good wines, but there's also a lot of self-promoting LGO-branded bric-a-brac. The kids table seems full of the same candy I'd find in a convenience store rather than unique hard-to-find items.
-- I dislike the reasons why many people like LGO restaurants. Often, praise of LGO -- on this site and elsewhere -- contains some mention that LGO makes customers feel like they are in another city. If the city is named, it's usually San Francisco. Otherwise, it's some nameless "other city," "real city," or "normal city." This reasoning suggests that Phoenix is somehow "unreal" or "abnormal." As a proud Phoenician, I find this thinking offensive. If I wanted to eat in a restaurant that simulated another city, I'd go to Las Vegas rather than Arcadia.
-- Finally, LGO defenders sometimes dismiss criticism of the restaurants with insulting comments along the lines of "Go eat at Applebee's." No thank you. Read any of my postings here, on other sites, or on my blog, and you'll see a keen appreciation of local, independent, customer-focused restaurants. Unfortunately, I no longer consider LGO within that category.
re: silverbear
I may have been guilty of saying that it made me feel like I was "somewhere else," but you are totally right. I don't know where I was thinking of, and now that I don't live in Phoenix I long for those casual mornings with a commuter sandwich that felt oh so Phoenician for me.
Perhaps most of the locals aren't ready to admit that phoenix IS a real city. It's like Boston having to give up on the curse. The only thing more pleasing than genuine goodness is something to complain about.
I'm speaking only of LGO, as I've never eaten at any of the other branches. I always thought that the quality I got there was good for the price, but I had a hard time imagining that they were going to put out something that qualified the prices at Chelsea's Kitchen.
I LOVE Postino and the LGO, but went to a birthday party at Chelsea's Kitchen and the service was absolutely horrible. Had to send my food back twice, also...
Thank you for initiating this topic, as I have often wondered the same thing. We recently ate at Chelsea's Kitchen with a group of 6. The service was very friendly and knowledgable, the food was delicious and we had a great time. I like a casual restaurant where people seem happy to be there, and they are having a good time. We have found both Chelsea and Radio Milano to fit that mold.
Obviously, everyone would prefer a popular restaurant take reservations, but why would owners do that when the place is packed. Reservations only reduce the number of diners every night. As much as we like to romanticize food and restaurants, these folks are trying to make a living. Besides, why not just show up, put your name on the list and chat over a glass of wine or a cocktail while you wait.
These folks have created five great places for all of us to enjoy, and obvioulsy they are doing something right. I, for one, celebrate the success of independent restaurants, and look to the positives they bring our community. I am constantly suprised at the level of dislike shown for these restaurants on the board. Is it because they are too "cool"? Should their ability to attract the Scottsdale or Arcadia crowd be used as a weapon against them? I don't get it. The food is good, the service is friendly, the place is fun...what is there not to like.
I never see anyone say Mary Elaine's is not worth going to because you have to stop at the guard house first, and then either park far from the hotel entrance or valet your car to dine there. Parking at Cowboy Ciao for the last year has been a very difficult, and yet I've never seen one word on here about not going there or Sea Saw because of that.
Sorry for the rant, but this is something I've thought about before. Perhaps giving LGO restaurants another chance with an open mind might be a good idea.
re: barry
Scottsdale has wanted to be LA for the past 15+ years, so that works for Cowboy Ciao and Sea Saw. Arcadia doesn't fit that mold. Mary Elaine's is at a resort, and people expect what they get when they go there. No comparison.
I think Silverbear hit the nail on the head. I love East Phoenix just the way it is, and dread the thought of it taking on the Scottsdale mentality. LGO seems to have begun this trend.
The positive of LGO is that it has revitalized the neighborhood of Arcadia and brought along other investments into the future of this area.
Don't shoot...but I think LGO is overrated. The pizza is good, don't get me wrong, but it's nothing I would go out of my way for. I found it to be overly greasy, and the quality is that of a chain restaurant. To me, it's on par with Oregano's pizza--not bad at all, but nothing unique; I don' t get the hype. I will say that I do enjoy the breakfasts and breads there.
I guess the attention and fervor just goes to show that we need more quality restaurants in central Phoenix.
Thanks for raising an interesting topic. I'm not a big LGO fan, but I'm not a hater either. And, I must add the caveat that I do live in Scottsdale so - based on other responses here - it's presumed that I must be an "LA wannabe." Actually, to the contrary. I have lived in LA , San Francisco, London and have spent a considerable amount of time in New York City, and I'd take Scottsdale over all those places. The burgeoning LGO empire doesn't make Arcadia akin to Scottsdale, San Francisco, or any where else for that matter.
They have reasonably good restaurants with quality ingredients; nothing more, nothing less. Sure, the parking is awful but we're all spoiled here because the Phoenix metro is basically one big parking lot with only a few exceptions, so any time we have to look for a parking space we complain about it. People from London would think that the parking at LGO is bountiful, so it's all relative.
I think that what it all boils down to me is one thing: attitude. Sure, there are lots of Scottsdale "scene" restaurants that deal out the attitude in spades, but it's pretty easy to laugh at and ignore. The problem with LGO is that they really mean it. Like they really think they're a cut above the rest. LGO serves good ingredients prepared well, and that's about it. I don't think it's really any better than a lot of other similar places.
I don't mind waiting, I don't mind a bit of attitude, and I don't mind looking for a parking space. But I do mind arrogance. And their draconian policies exhude attitude.
It's funny: my wife and I will leave Los Angeles - - - errrr....Scottsdale - - - - and drive to the far west side for food. We'll go south. We'll actually go anywhere if the food is worth it. But we NEVER find ourselves leaving our neighborhood for an LGO restaurant. There are simply too many other great places that don't come with the nonsense that LGO does.
I agree with another Hound's comment that it's nice that LGO has brought investment and rebirth to Arcadia but, let's face it, Arcadia has become stuffier than Scottsdale and I think LGO followed that trend, not started it.
Just my $0.02......
re: ValleyFever
My personal term of choice for my part of Arcadia is SoCa (south of Camelback).
re: ValleyFever
I don't want this to turn into a turf war :-) but "Scottsdale" doesn't just refer to North. South Scottsdale is also Scottsdale and meets the same description you give of Lower Arcadia. I see your point completely regarding LGO; I just think that people tend to define the Scottsdale nightlife/culinary scene based on a very small sampling which isn't reflective of the total picture.

November 28, 2014
DENVER (AP) A Colorado businessman wants to use a former prison in the small town of Brush to grow and sell marijuana, but first he has to persuade local residents and elected officials.
The Denver Post reported Saturday (http://tinyurl.com/orcscv4 ) Nicholas Erker says the prison's security, utility lines and isolated location would make it ideal for marijuana.
The prison closed in 2010. Erker bought it in March for $150,000.
Recreational marijuana sales have been legal in Colorado since January, but Brush has a moratorium on pot businesses. The City Council plans to vote on extending the moratorium or put it to a public vote in November.
Erker is vice president of Erker Grain Co. in nearby Fort Morgan. He estimates a marijuana business could create 31 jobs with a payroll of $1 million.

Antivirus solutions for Linux
With proper setup and administration, viruses in Linux are the least of your worries, but you still need to worry about Windows clients that connect to your Linux servers. I have been looking at anti-virus programs, designed to run on Linux servers, that can keep viruses from infecting Windows clients on the networks I administer.
There are a growing number of companies and GNU Projects coming forward to provide Linux antivirus products. The Open Antivirus Project aims to provide open source solutions to multiple antivirus needs, including squid-vscan (virus scanning with squid), samba-vscan (on-access virus scanning with Samba), and VirusHammer (a standalone virus scanner to be run by end users). Many other features and projects are planned, like rescue disks and remote management.

Since the release of the first Iron Man movie back in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone from being a neat idea to taking a firm stranglehold of the blockbuster box-office. The end of the first 'phase' of the MCU, The Avengers, is the third highest-grossing movie of all time — and for the naysayers thinking that it was some sort of fluke, last year Iron Man 3 snatched the number five spot, cementing Marvel's claim as a major player in the movies.
However, as the MCU keeps expanding, more characters need to be introduced to keep audiences wanting more. Thankfully, having been around for more than seventy years, Marvel Comics boasts more than enough fresh faces to keep the machine rolling.

Jacksonville area stores making room for alcoholic beverages
Thursday, November 18, 2010 - 4:37am
City issues more than 700 thousand dollars in permits
Jacksonville---The Daily Progress is reporting; several Jacksonville convenience stores are making room for spirits sales.
Since voters okayed the sale of beer and wine, The City of Jacksonville so far has issued building permits for more than 700 thousand dollars in construction.
Much of that construction could be attributed to the passage of the ordinance.

AES E-Library
A New Perceptual Quality Measure for Bit-Rate Reduced Audio
For the quality evaluation of perceptual audio codecs appropriate measurement algorithms are needed which detect and assess audible artifacts by comparing the output of the codec with the uncoded reference. A filterbank-based perceptual model is presented, which yields better temporal resolution than FFT-based approaches and, thus, allows a more precise modeling of pre- and postmasking and a refined analysis of the envelope within each filter channel.

I just want to comment on Betty Fulton's "My Word" column ("Eclipse-watchers blind to signs of 'No Trespassing'," Times-Standard. June 2). Lest anyone think Betty is just a whiny property owner fussing over nothing, trespassing and inconsiderate behavior is rampant on Kneeland, especially when there is snow or an occasion like the recent eclipse. I worked for many years at a grocery story in east Eureka where we had as customers many ranchers from the Kneeland-Showers Pass-Iaqua area. Over the years I became friends with many of them and hunted, made wood and helped on the ranches with fences, marking and moving cattle. I've heard many stories of poaching, killing their animals, tearing down fences, leaving gates open, and other inconsiderate behavior. It's true that many of the problems are created by a few, but they are still a major problem.
There is no public property on Kneeland that is accessible. If you go up there, please act responsibly and remember: You wouldn't want someone moving in on your yard or lawn. One friend found someone looking for a computer-generated "treasure hunt", smoking in the dry grass, trying to tell her that this was public property, not noticing, I guess, all the "No Trespassing" and "Private Property" signs. A couple days later, her daughter happened on the website, and it said "Look out for the grumpy lady on Kneeland." Betty was right on!

Fire on the Mountain, Anita Desai
Fire on the Mountain, Anita Desai
the clasping Simla hills with its serene aura find a diction in Anita Desai`s novel "Fire on the mountain".
`Fire on the Mountain` by Anita Desai is set at the backdrop of the Simla hills, wonderfully portraying the Indian life and the stages of old age. The intricacies of relationship, the palpation of kinship gains an enunciation in the novel "Fire on the Mountain".
Anita Desai is a writer who deals with the various subjects starting from common village life to the human relationship and their various aspects. Throughout her novels and short stories, Desai focuses on the personal struggles of Anglicized, middle-class women in contemporary India. Her characters always attempt to overcome the societal limitations imposed by a tradition-bound patriarchal culture. In her writing both pre independence as well as post independence scenario is prevalent. Most of the novels by the author are set among the cultural and social changes that have swept India since its independence from Britain in 1947. All of these formalize the importance of inherited bonds and explore the tensions that exist between different generations. She has taken some varied subjects in some of her later works, and these can be mentioned as `German anti-Semitism`, `the dissolution of traditional Indian values`, and `Western stereotypes of India`. Desai had all the criteria to become a contemporary writer. She has also been identified with a new literary tradition of Indian writing in English, which is stylistically different and less conservative than colonial Indian literature and concerns such issues as hybridity, shifting identity, and "imaginary homelands." She has won various awards for her literary work.
This novel by Anita Desai is written in her strikingly original style. Nanda Kaul, an elderly lady, decides to live a secluded life in Carignano in Kausali. All she wishes to entertain is stillness and calm in this period of her life. She spends all her life in the care of others, her three daughters and her husband. She never gets time to feel for herself. Her own choice, her own world was gone somewhere. And in this process she suffered from nimiety, the disorder caused by the fluctuating and unpredictable excess of the presence of family members, friends and acquaintances. When one day Nanda receives a letter from her daughter Asha asking her to take care of her great-granddaughter Raka, a feeling of anger, disappointment and loathing arises in her. She doesn`t feel like conversing again, she doesn`t want to make sure of another`s life and comfort, she doesn`t want to get involved anymore. She is just not bothered about the worldly matters. Raka comes in Nanda`s life and things starts changing in different way. Nanda is a recluse out of vengeance for a long life of duty and obligation; Raka is a recluse by nature and instinct. Her parents have long given up to try to socialize her. But slowly the child has the capacity to change things and Nanda discovers new needs within herself. When finally violence explodes, she has to face the truth.
Being published by South Asia books, Harper Collins, William Heinemann Ltd., Minerva, Vintage, etc. `Fire on the Mountain` an original novel by Anita Desai full of delicate observations about human nature and parental relationships.
This creation of Anita Desai is again a marvelous one. The intricacy of human relationship is illustrated beautifully in this novel. This is the sad tale of three women whose story resemblance a large number of women of the society. The story also touches humour in some parts. As a whole this is worth reading book by the author and winner of various awards namely National Academy of Letters Awards in 1978 and the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize in 1977.

RIR brings exposure, money to county
The construction of RIR ranks No. 21 on the list of 24 moments in Henrico history
It began 65 years ago as little more than a dusty oval at a rural fairgrounds. Today, it hosts more than a quarter-million visitors annually, is home to the only major league sporting events in Virginia and perhaps does more than any other single entity to attract national and international attention to Henrico County.
It's the Richmond International Raceway, and its legacy has earned it the No. 21 spot on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant moments in Henrico history.
The raceway holds an important spot not only in Henrico history but also in the history of its sport and NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). Only three tracks (in Daytona, Fla., Martinsville, Va. and Darlington, S.C.) have continuously hosted NASCAR races at their present locations longer than RIR. Unlike many of the now-defunct tracks that hosted races in the sport's early years, RIR has survived – and thrived.
As a result, it's help stamp Henrico County on the national and international racing landscape.
"We think this adds a lot to the quality of life in this community," said RIR President Doug Fritz, who has been at the helm of the raceway since International Speedway Corporation purchased it from its longtime owners, the Sawyer family, in 1999. "We're very proud to be part of Henrico County and the history of Henrico County. Our entire life has been here in Henrico County.
The last 50 years have been great years for Henrico County, and we like to think that we're some of the reason for that success."
The raceway, which hosts two race weekends annually, generates an estimated $417 million each year in total economic impact for the Metro Richmond region and helps employ nearly 7,000 people, according to the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau. Even non-NASCAR fans who live in the county and have never attended a race feel the benefits produced by RIR.
"The economic benefit you can see both directly and indirectly," said John Vithoulkas, Henrico County finance director, who said the county receives $1 million annually in direct real estate, business license tax and business personal property tax payments and hotel taxes. "And that doesn't include sales taxes generated by all the fans."
RIR and tourism officials estimate that the track's events generate $75 million a year in overall tax revenue to the county, state and federal governments.
A changing landscape
It's hard to say how Ted Horn would fare in a modern racecar at RIR today – where drivers exceed 120 mph and sometimes race three-wide – but it's safe to say he was adequately prepared for its first official race, which he won on Oct. 12, 1946 in an open-wheel car that averaged nearly 46 mph. The track was then a half-mile dirt oval at the Atlantic Rural Exposition Fairgrounds known to some as the Strawberry Hill Speedway.
The track held its first NASCAR event April 19, 1953 – a 100-mile race won by legend Lee Petty. Two years later, Paul Sawyer and driver Joe Weatherly purchased the facility, presiding over its growing reputation that led to a second NASCAR race being added to its annual schedule in 1959. The twice-yearly schedule has continued since, and today RIR is one of 13 tracks to host two Sprint Cup Series races a year and one of only 10 to host two Nationwide Series races annually.
In 1968, the track was paved for the first time, and in 1988, it was lengthened to its current and distinctive three-quarter-mile shape. It's the only track on the NASCAR circuit of that length, and drivers and fans alike appreciate its unique elements that often result in exciting, competitive races rather than monotonous ones. RIR's capacity has grown steadily from 58,000 in 1992 to its officially listed capacity of 98,000 today (though a number of races in recent years have attracted crowds of more than 100,000). The raceway's 33-race sellout streak ended in Sept. 2008.
While many other tracks on the NASCAR circuit are located on the outskirts of cities, surrounded by asphalt and little else, RIR is clearly the product of humble beginnings, still sitting adjacent to modest neighborhoods and surrounded by industrial parks and suburban roads.
When ISC bought the facility, it was still sharing some "amenities" with its neighbor, the State Fair of Virginia.
"We still had chicken coops and horse stalls and hen houses and all that," Fritz said.
ISC and RIR have added new amenities during the past 12 years, including the Torque Club, which sits high above the track and offers spectators what Fritz calls "one of the best fan experiences you can have in any sport," and a new LED scoring tower and video screen that debuted last year, allowing every spectator to see the race leaders. Today, "we're considered one of the most premier sports facilities in this country," he said.
Fritz made a point to take advantage of the track's unique setting to develop relationships with its neighbors. He opened the facility to the community, inviting residents of Essex Village and other neighborhoods to enjoy National Night Out cookouts and take pace-car laps around the track. He's also involved track employees in a plethora of community initiatives through the years.
"It's the right thing to do," he said. "We wanted people to see that we're not just the 'Green Giant' across the street. We do care about this community, and a lot of our efforts are focused on the youth."
Wide-reaching impact
The overall impact that RIR has on Henrico County and Metro Richmond from a national and international standpoint may be difficult to judge specifically, but it's clear that the exposure it provides to the region through a sport with an estimated 75 million fans is significant. For those who watch races in person, on television or who listen on radio, Richmond International Raceway is a familiar name.
"We are drawing fans on every NASCAR weekend from all 50 states, and that's great exposure for Henrico County," Fritz said. "Some of the fans come back to visit Henrico County. And this is a part of the country that they may not have seen if not for Richmond International Raceway."
In addition to hosting two weekends of NASCAR racing every year – each of which makes the complex the eighth-largest city in Virginia for one day – the raceway complex hosts dozens of conventions, expos and shows in its expo halls throughout the year, bringing thousands more regional visitors to Henrico County.
When NASCAR switched to a new playoff system in 2004, RIR realized more good fortune as the host of the final race before the 10-race playoff began. Each year since, drivers on the fringe of the playoff chase have come to Richmond anxious to make one final push before the watchful eyes of NASCAR nation.
Late last year, the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau launched a proactive effort to encourage businesses and fans to purchase tickets to both of this year's races as a way to solidify RIR's hold on its twice-annual schedule. This year, Atlanta and Fontana, Calif., each lost one of their two races, and Fritz said there's no guarantee from year to year that any track will maintain two races.
"I feel pretty good, but we can't be complacent," he said. "This is very important for us as a community. It's not going to be easy, and it's going to take a lot of work on a lot of people's parts, including mine, to keep two races here.
"But as long as people keep supporting Richmond International Raceway, we're going to be here a long time"
Richmond International Raceway will host its 110th Sprint Cup Series race April 30, one day after it hosts the Nationwide Series race. For tickets or details, visit http://www.rir.com

A hero is born
Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Family Portrait in Black and White -- One foster mother is raising 16 black orphans in Ukraine, a country where 99.9 percent of the population is white, and where race does matter.
Family Portrait in Black and White follows passionate supermom, Olga Nenya during three turbulent years that see her brood of 17 foster children grow into adolescence. Olga is a loving single mother who receives little government assistance but she is no Mother Teresa. Raised by the Soviet regime, she believes in communal responsibility over individual freedom and runs the family with Stalin-like authority. Unlike many in the Ukraine, Olga holds no racial prejudices as 16 of her foster children are bi-racial, results of taboo relationships between local Ukrainian girls and African students. Olga's parental limits are tested daily and her iron-fisted ways become a refuge for some and prison for the others. 'When the kids grow up, at least they will have a mother to blame for all the failures that will happen in their lives'. In many ways, Olga's words sum up the immense value of living with a Mother, ideal or not, biological or adoptive, versus being raised in the best orphanage where a child calls every caregiver 'a mom' without ever knowing what a true MOTHER is.
Olga Nenya is a single Ukrainian woman raising 20 foster children on her own. Despite the poverty and racism surrounding her, she is determined to raise the children, many of whom are biracial, with love and a sense of safety and responsibility. Olga believes in strength in numbers and counts on the children to support and protect each other out in the community. But while all the children are grateful to have a home, some of them struggle with what they see as a dictatorship, and the viewer is forced to ask if Olga s mothering is purely altruistic or bordering on obsessive.
Trailer for the documentary Family Portrait in Black and White.
Olga has 27 children. Four of them, now adults, are her biological children; for the other 23 she has been an adoptive or foster mother for as long as they can remember. Of those twenty three, sixteen are bi-racial. She calls them my chocolates , and raises them to be patriotic Ukrainians. Some residents of Sumy, Ukraine, consider Olga a saint - but many believe she is just crazy. Inherited from the Soviet era, there is a stigma in the country against interracial relationships, and against children born as consequences' of such romantic encounters between Ukrainian girls and students from Africa, who come to Ukraine to study. The destiny of hundreds of bi-racial children is tragic - unwanted and doomed to grow up as orphans. Hence, for over a decade, Olga has been literally picking up the black babies left in Ukrainian orphanages. This was Olga s idea to raise many mixed-race children together so that they could support and protect one another.
