This 400-year anniversary presents an opportunity for reflection and education. Through a diverse series of programs, events, and exhibits, visitors can gain insight into how from this turbulent beginning, the foundation of our nation was established. “The historical significance of the ways Africans contributed to the development of Virginia and the rest of the nation should be recognized by all Americans,” said Hampton Mayor Donnie Tuck.

  • SUMMARY of DOWNTOWN RETAIL OPPORTUNITY at NAVY HILL Connie Jordan Nielsen Senior Vice President Retail Services
    SUMMARY OF DOWNTOWN RETAIL OPPORTUNITY AT NAVY HILL Connie Jordan Nielsen Senior Vice President Retail Services Navy Hill 1 RETAIL AT NAVY HILL Insert Image The proposed Navy Hill is a unique opportunity to meet current pent-up demand for retail offerings (dining, dry goods, services etc.) as well as future demand generated from the Navy Hill development. Currently, there is virtually zero retail offerings to serve an existing daytime population of over 50,000 within the Navy Hill district and immediate vicinity. Retail is a critical component of a desirable and sustainable urban Insert Image environment, attracting residents, businesses, and tourists. Residents and visitors alike experience a City at the street level, where civic engagement takes place. A well-conceived and executed retail program contributes to a active street life that fosters a sense of safety and civic well-being. Navy Hill 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The proposed Navy Hill redevelopment area is adjacent to the VCU Medical Center, the Virginia Biotechnology Research Park and the Greater Richmond Convention Center, and a short walk to the Central Business District. The area is underserved and has the ability to attract all calibers of retail and merchants due to the proximity to these existing drivers in addition to freeway proximity, tourists and entertainment activity. The new arena will replace an obsolete coliseum and a new hotel will serve as housing for tourists and visitors attending events at the nearby Richmond Convention Center and beyond. Navy Hill 3 EXISTING SITE INFORMATION The area is already home to a teaching hospital (Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical Campus), a Bio Tech park, municipal offices, City, WHAT’S State and Federal courthouses, a community college (Reynolds Community College), a library (The Library THERE of Virginia), a live music venue (The National), a convention center (The Greater Richmond NOW?

  • Understanding ‗It': Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish
    Understanding ‗It‘: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene By C2010 Elizabeth Anne Yeager Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie J. Tucker ________________________________ Ben Chappell ________________________________ Henry Bial ________________________________ Eric Weisbard ________________________________ Nicole Hodges Persley Date Defended: December 14, 2010 ii The Dissertation Committee for Elizabeth Anne Yeager certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Understanding ‗It‘: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie J. Tucker Date approved: April 18, 2011 iii Abstract ―Understanding It: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene‖ is an ethnographic study of ―scene identity‖ around the contemporary rock band Phish. Utilizing data generated from six years of ethnographic fieldwork, including over one hundred and fifty interviews with Phish scene participants, this project explores how the production of space at Phish shows works to form a Phish scene identity. I contend that the identity of the Phish scene, what the band members and fans refer to as ―it‖ and I call a spatial articulation of affective authenticity, is produced and formed by scene members themselves, drawing from the interrelations between the production of space (practices that create a specific environment) at shows and a white, middle and upper-middle class cultural memory of the Grateful Dead scene. I situate this process amidst a cultural backdrop of 1980s and 1990s identity politics and in particular, multiculturalism and suggest that Phish scene identity be analyzed as a middle class performance of resistance that achieves community and meaning without resisting class privilege.
