discover richmond at globe hopper

Richmond.com’s Sunday Discover Richmond a couple weeks back prominently featured GlobeHopper through a day in the life of musician and regular customer Nicolas Lewis.

“This place really has a very European feel which is why I especially like it,” he said. “There aren’t too many places that feel like this in Richmond.” [via]

coal mining in Appalachia @ GlobeHopper

From the folks with Back Porch Initiatives:

Today, August 17th, we will discuss Coal Mining in Appalachia and the activist movements surrounding it. Mountain Top Removal–a process through which coal is extracted from mountains using explosives rather than mining and extracting–in Appalachia has become a hot-button issue among mining corporations, governments, power companies, envrionmental and citizens’ rights groups, and Appalachian citizens. Today we will discuss the environmental impacts of Mountain Top Removal and coal-fired power, and the strategies groups are using to combat them.

Jack Goes Forth at GlobeHopper

Jack Goes Forth rates the best cafes in Richmond including GlobeHopper.

Globehopper Cafe, 2100 East Main Street : A solid all-around cafe. Good service, decent eats and a comfortable setting. I hate their hours (who closes at 2 PM on a Friday, and 8 PM every other night?!) and their lack of bottled water leaves something to be desired. Not much foot traffic in terms of women, but I always see people I know and the staff is pretty cool and down to earth.

Coffee, culture, and community…

The fine folks at GlobeHopper want to share your photos:

We the team of GlobeHopper Coffeehouse & Lounge have been thrilled as of late by a number of customers bringing us photos of our shop: from the obscure and gritty to the funk and glam. This has inspired us for our next round of wall display. We would like to temporarily deviate from our global photos to show your photographs as taken at the GlobeHopper with the theme of our mantra “coffee, culture, and community.” We would be pleased to receive both color and black-and-white photos. Photos should be framed for consideration on the coffeehouse display wall. Electronic photos may be emailed to contact”AT”globehoppercoffee.com for posing on our Facebook or website only. We look forward to seeing and sharing more!

think global, act local @ GlobeHopper

From the folks with Back Porch Initiatives:

Today, July 13th, we will focus on climate change commitments addressed by world leaders at the 2009 G-8 Summit and national leaders in the federal cilmate change legislation. As we overview the specifics and implications of these current events, we will also take a look at the way that environmental communities are responding–from the major American environmental organizations like Sierra Club and Greenpeace to small grassroots movements across the country. Are the stipulations made by these leaders enough to curb climate change? If not, what can we do to keep pressing them to take the necessary steps?

filming the environment @ Globe Hopper

Tonight, Jenna Clarke, organizer of Richmond’s environmental film festival “The Biggest Picture,” will overview a few of the films at this weekend’s festival and how they and others have affected environmental activism. In 2006, former Vice President Al Gore released the film An Inconvenient Truth, which amounted to a call to action on the threat of global warming. Although Al Gore’s is the most notable example, films about environmentalism have been sparking national interest in public policy and community action well before and decidedly after its release.

Join the Back Porch Initiative to talk about the role that film has played in both educating mass audiences and shaping the ways that we act on these issues.

you are what you eat

Founded in 2008, Backyard Farmer is a local business that works with individuals in Richmond to design and plant gardens or small farms in their backyards. Kate Ruby is working on an upstart program in Church Hill to leverage the yard and vacant plot space for growing food and creating green jobs.
