ABC Board revokes Club Velvet’s liquor license

The Virginia ABC Board made the decision on Thursday to revoke Club Velvet’s liquor license based on evidence that Moore allowed underage drinking, public nudity, drug use, consumption of alcohol in unauthorized areas of the club and allowed sexual acts to be performed on club customers.

Moore has 30 days to appeal the decision with the ABC and can continue to serve alcohol during that time. The transcript of the ABC hearing is available here (warning: graphic).

Sam Moore accused of threatening police officer

Rachel DePompa broke the story via twitter last night:

Shockoe Strip Club Owner Sam Moore accused of threatening a Richmond Police Officer over the phone.

She later followed up with more details at NBC12.com stating that Moore allegedly threatened violence against a police officer, who had contacted Moore on behalf of a Club Velvet employee about a work dispute. The misdemeanor phone threat charge can lead to up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. The ABC Board is ruling this week in a separate matter to determine if Club Velvet will lose their liquor license.

Tricycle Gardens announces first Urban Mini Farm in Manchester

We are breaking ground on our first Urban Mini Farm (yet to be named) at the corner of 9th St. & Bainbridge St., in old Manchester. We are setting up a vermiculture operation, hoop houses for cold weather growing, a living fence of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries (YUM!), and gardens for intensive growing. Thanks to the generosity of Robin Miller and Dan Gecker of Monroe Properties, we are ready to get the first model of high yield urban farming up and running on 1/2 an acre of under utilized urban land. The ultimate goal is job creation, as we implement urban farms throughout Richmond. Jobs, healthy food access, bio-diversity, ecological restoration, and more….Stay tuned for volunteer work days!

In the current plan Richmond is listed as having “projects laying foundation for high-speed passenger rail.”
