From Richmond, Virginia, Here's Melissa Savenko, First Time Poster

Well, I am taking the plunge. This is my first post on the Active Rain blogosphere, although I have been blogging for over a year now, at www.melissasavenko.typepad.com. Of course, I am so technically challenged that I don't know how to cross-post to the separate sites, other than by doing it manually. I'll have to get my 10 year old, the techical expert in our house, to help me figure it out.

Anyhoo, this is just a test, to see if this actually posts. I'll write something more substantive about the local Richmond, Virginia real estate market in the next day or so. I have to say, there really is lots of interesting stuff going on. For example, here's an article about the most recent Planning Commission meeting related to the Downtown Master Plan. This is really important stuff, whether you live in Downtown, or in the actual City proper, or even in any of the surrounding localities that make up the Greater Richmond Metropolitan area. A vibrant City core is crucial to the success of the entire region. So get educated, get interested, get involved!
