“The Halligan Bar & Grill excels”
John Haddad visits The Halligan Bar & Grill for Style Weekly and comes away raving:
The Halligan Bar & Grill excels in what it is trying to be. With one of the most original and authentic bars in town (serving Hook & Ladder beer from Silver Spring, Md.), a loyal customer base of our community’s finest, and a solid repertoire of smoked fare and tasty sandwiches, a bright future lies ahead.

Give City the 4-1-1 on Richmond’s 3-1-1
From the Office of the Press Secretary: Mayor L. Douglas Wilder announced today the beginning of a month-long “Give Us the 4-1-1″ campaign to help the City improve its new 311 Call Center to handle citizen requests for municipal services. Residents can dial 311 to report potholes, downed trees, utility issues, request social services, and other City matters. The campaign, which will run from March 11 through mid-April, is an invitation for City residents who have used the phone system and encountered problems to let the City know what those problems were so they can be corrected and the system improved.
