Sounds interesting… it’s a shame it’s thursday nights or I think I would try to go.
I took an earlier incarnation of this class and highly recommend it. It includes a pretty thorough history of Richmond, and Ben’s a pretty good local historian and has lived in the neighborhood for years and years.
If the money’s a barrier, they may have scholarships available- ask.
