I have a number of ongoing projects happening at my
Patreon (YOU SHOULD SUPPORT ME!), but one I started with the New Year was
revisiting the 1994 homicide list of Richmond, Virginia. I lived in Richmond at
the time, and it was RVA’s worst year ever in terms of murder – one that helped
us have the public image of a murderous place back then. I’m using google map’s
and the internet to look back on these things, examining how Richmond’s
changed, as well as how little information the internet actually has about news
items from what seems like such a short time back in the grand scheme of
things. It’s all a very subjective exploration of these themes, and likely
there’s nothing groundbreaking about it, but its interesting stuff nonetheless.
In writing the second one today, it accidentally triggered some pretty hard
feels for some reason, likely because I’m too much of an empath (can you be too
much of an empath?) but also, well, it just did. I made the post a public one
instead of just for patrons, so please check it out. RVA ’94 Homicides second update
