Podcast appearances and mentions of richmond road

I got a ride from Norma to the Heart Institute and decided to run the eight kilometers home from there. Richmond Road was too noisy, so I turned onto a quiet street I'd never explored before, Ernest Avenue. I tried to take a shortcut through a bushy path but ended up tangled in blackberry thorns and had to reroute. After getting a bit lost behind the University of Victoria, I finally found my way back toward Mount Tolmie. I finished my run through Lambrick Park, where I had taken my very first run in Victoria back in 1997.

Alles nahm seinen Anfang am Abend des 22. Februar 1946, als Jimmy Hollis und seine Freundin Mary Jeanne Larey an einer abgelegenen Ecke der Richmond Road in Texarkana parkten, um etwas Zeit allein zu verbringen. In der Dunkelheit lauert ein Phantom, bereit zum Angriff. Und der Angriff auf Jimmy und Mary ist erst der Anfang. Das Phantom wird Texarkana in den nächsten Wochen terrorisieren. Viele bleiben bis heute traumatisiert. Trotzdem werden Taten zu einem feierlichen Ereignis jedes Jahr wieder „rausgekramt“: Die viel diskutierte Verfilmung wird im Kino gezeigt, nur wenige Meter von einem der Tatorte entfernt. Das stößt einigen Bewohner ziemlich übel auf, für andere ist es eine Tradition mit Kultstatus. Die Morde gehören einfach zur Stadt dazu.

What do the Harlem Globetrotters, Arkle, the ‘Gorgeous Gael' Jack Doyle and Shelbourne have in common? All have appeared at Tolka Park - the stadium on Drumcondra's Richmond Road, which had floodlights before Wembley, and Dalymount for that matter. As Shelbourne prepare to move to Phibsboro, there are all kinds of questions around the future of Tolka Park with a 'Save Tolka Park' campaign underway to keep it in public hands. With all this uncertainty, Donal Fallon thought it a good time to look back at the storied history of one of the most-loved sports grounds in Dublin - he joined Gavan for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

Today's Patreon-fueled shout-out is for the Plant Northern Piedmont Natives Campaign, an initiative that wants you to grow native plants in yards, farms, public spaces and gardens in the northern Piedmont. Native plants provide habitat, food sources for wildlife, ecosystem resiliency in the face of climate change, and clean water.  Start at the Plant Northern Piedmont Natives Facebook page and tell them Lonnie Murray sent you! On today’s show:City Council suspends search for a new city manager Three Georgia men have been arrested in connection with a shooting yesterdayAlbemarle’s design review panel briefed on restoration of several “entrance corridors”Details on two “community reads” currently being assisted by the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library The Virginia Department of Health is reporting another 4,377 cases of COVID-19 today, and reports another 59 deaths. The percent positivity rating has risen to 16.2 percent, up from 12.2 percent a week ago. In the Blue Ridge Health District there are another 55 cases and one more death, bringing the total COVID-related fatalities in the district to 97 since March. Yesterday the Blue Ridge Health District posted a video that showed the inside of the temporary structure that has been erected in the former KMart parking lot. The structure will be the location of mass vaccinations beginning tomorrow. Blue Ridge Health District spokeswoman Kathryn Goodman said in an email this morning Emergency Medical Services personnel, Region 10 residential facility staff and dialysis center staff will be the first to receive doses as part of Phase1A of the vaccine roll-out. Meanwhile, many health care workers at the University of Virginia and Sentara Martha Jefferson hospitals have received their second doses. Source: Virginia Department of Health*Charlottesville Police have arrested three men from Columbus, Georgia and charged them with several felonies related to a shooting on Emmet Street yesterday. According to a release, a 21-year-old resident of Fluvanna County was shot and is in stable condition at the University of Virginia Hospital. The suspects were apprehended by the Albemarle County Police Department and being held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail pending a bond hearing. *Charlottesville City Council has suspended its search for a new city manager to replace Dr. Tarron Richardson, who resigned last September. "Council has decided to pause working with a search firm for the City Manager recruitment and is evaluating next steps to stabilize the organization over the next 12-24 months,” reads a statement from Council sent to the Daily Progress yesterday by Councilor Heather Hill. “We anticipate providing additional information to the public in advance of our next regular meeting on January 19th."  In a Facebook post, City Councilor Lloyd Snook said the city had interviewed five search firms in October and selected Ralph Andersen and Associates in part because one of that company’s officials had made a statement that “it is going to take a special kind of person to want to come to Charlottesville at the moment.”  That official was Robert Burg, the company’s vice president.  According to Snook, Burg had a virtual meeting with city staff on December 4. A story in the Daily Progress today based on a Freedom of Information Act request from Tanesha Hudson quotes an email from Police Chief RaShall Brackney in which she described Burg as “unprofessional.” In his post, Snook said that Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker had disagreed with the hiring of Ralph Andersen and Associates. He quoted a December 10 email from Walker in which she said she would not meet one-on-one with Burg, but only as an entire Council. In the email, she said she did not think the firm was interested in hearing her point of view. “I explained to you all in the summer that I believed that it would be extremely challenging to select a city manager with this current council and that I had hoped that things would have worked out with the previous city manager,” Walker said in that email. Walker’s first four-year term is up later this year, as is the first four-year term of Councilor Heather Hill. In 2017, Walker was the first independent candidate elected to Council since 1948, and she announced last February she would seek another term. In his Facebook post, Snook said Burg told that he had never seen this level of dysfunction before and that it would be difficult to hire a manager at this time.“In my opinion, we will not be able to hire a permanent City Manager until after the next election, in November, 2021, and we should not try,” Snook wrote. Council has now had four managers since the contract of Maurice Jones was not renewed in 2018. Deputy City Manager Mike Murphy served as interim until May 2019, when Richardson took over. City attorney John Blair is serving as interim manager.  Council also recently suspended its strategic plan process. They are next scheduled to meet on January 12 in a joint meeting with the Planning Commission. That meeting will be on the Capital Improvement Program. So far, no candidates for Council have filed paperwork, according to an email received this morning from City Registrar Melissa Morton. *Albemarle County might soon pursue scenic and historic designations for roadways that until recently have been under the jurisdiction of the Architectural Review Board. The ARB reviews projects within what are known as Entrance Corridors, but several roads such as Route 6 do not qualify because the Virginia Department of Transportation does not classify them as “arterial” roadways. Margaret Maliszewski is an Albemarle County Planning Manager.“For four of the non-arterial streets, we are recommending that they be upgraded to arterial status,” Maliszewski said. “They include the full length of Avon Street Extended, Barracks Road from the city limits to Georgetown Road, Thomas Jefferson Parkway or Route 53 for the full length, and Richmond Road from Route 22 to the County.”Maliszewski said staff is also recommending restoring a county-level scenic or historic designation for several other streets such as the rest of Barracks Road, Route 6 and Route 22. Other roads could become Scenic By-Ways, a designation granted by the Commonwealth Transportation Board.  The Board of Supervisors will be presented with the information at their meeting on February 3. “If the Board wants us to start to consider the county scenic highway and the historic designation that is a multi-step process that would have public hearings and we’re not ready to jump into that yet. Really what we’re asking for in February is whether they want us to start pursuing it.”ARB Member Frank Stoner said he wasn’t sure that all of the entrance corridor designations needed to be restored.“Some of these corridors don’t really have any commercial development on them and I just wonder whether it’s worth the effort to pursue this designation,” Stoner said. “I don’t exactly know what’s involved once you get into VDOT.” Stoner said he was most concerned about restoring ARB’s jurisdiction over Avon Street Extended, which he said was not a major arterial. “And it’s a road that already has a fairly industrial character and so I worry that there aren’t many places anymore in the county where you can actually build something akin to a warehouse or a purely functional structure and Avon already serves that purpose,” Stoner said. *The year is still relatively new and there’s still time to pick up the habit of reading a book. If you’d like to read along with several hundred other area residents, the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library has the book for you as part of their Same Page program. “So this year for 2021 our Same Page pick is Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson,” said Abby Cox, a reference librarian with JMRL. “This is the same book we picked for last year but Same Page takes place during March so as you can imagine, most of our book groups did not get to meet last year to discuss the book and we weren’t able to bring her in person because of the pandemic.”Cox said Brown Girl Dreaming is a memoir in poetry of Woodson’s childhood in South Carolina and New York in the late 60’s. And this year’s programs will also be virtual due to the continuing nature of the pandemic. JMRL has adapted. “We have pivoted a lot of our programming to virtual programming so we’ve been having book groups meet through Zoom where people can also call into participate so that’s really how this is going to look for our Same Page programming,” Cox said. Woodson will be on one of the sessions on March 17 at 7 p.m. as part of the Virginia Festival of the Book, which will be entirely virtual this year. The “community read” is under the Same Page program, which is funded by the Friends of the Library group in partnership with the Virginia Festival of the Book. It used to be called the Big Read and was paid for through a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. The University of Virginia’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are also doing a “community read” in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Their book for 2021 is Dr. King’s 1967 work Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community. A panel discussion for that will be held on January 25 at 6 p.m. (details)“One of the things that is so great about a Community Read is it gives people to have conversations with neighbors or members of the community that they may not otherwise be in dialogue with,” Cox said. Copies of both Brown Girl Dreaming and Where Do We Go From Here are available to be checked out from JMRL branches. Are you going to read it? If so, let me know. Let’s have some dialog!Details on the Same Page program are on the JMRL website*Today in meetings, the Charlottesville Tree Commission meets at 5 p.m. They’ll discuss their annual report to Council and hear a report from the city’s arborist.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 57 °F, and highs today will stick around in the mid 70s. We could see a bit of rain and clouds move through this morning, so keep an eye on that.Water coolerThe Richmond Police Department is reporting that two people were shot and killed this past Monday. In the morning, officers were called to the 1500 block of N. 21st Street and found Stanley L. Robinson, Jr., a man in his 20s, shot to death nearby. Later that afternoon, police were also called to the 3500 block of E. Richmond Road and found Surita M. Abdul-Majid, a man in his 30s, shot to death inside a residence. According to the RPD’s website, I think these are the 43rd and 44th murders in 2020, which is on pace with last year’s numbers.As of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 580↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 29↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 49↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 22, Henrico: 16, and Richmond: 11). Since this pandemic began, 365 people have died in the Richmond region. Note that the number of new deaths reported should still seems high to you, and that’s because VDH has extended the alert on their website about a data backlog through September 25th. You can see those recent death numbers in context on this graph generated by my new, public coronacounts Google Sheet—you can also see the unacceptable labeling of the x-axis that I just cannot figure out how to fix.The Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Jessica Nocera and Kenya Hunter have an update on the number of public school employees that have tested positive for COVID-19. After, I’m sure, an annoying amount of time combing through emails and PDFs, they’ve got the regional counts as at least: 21 cases in Hanover, 33 in Chesterfield, 22 in Richmond, and 30 in Henrico. Critically missing in this analysis is…the denominator! What does 106 positive cases among public school staff mean? Is it a lot? According to Nocera and Hunter, with 17,001 total positive cases across those four localities, public school staff make up less than one percent (0.6%). But how many public school staff are back to work and is 106 a big percentage of that number? How does the incidence rate among teachers compare to the incidence rate in the general public (around 1.7% if I did the math right). How does it compare to, say, grocery workers or bank tellers or waitstaff? I have no idea! But it’s really hard for me to look at a number like “106” with no context and have any sort of idea if we’re doing a good or bad job creeping toward reopening schools.Folks returned to Richmond’s streets last night to protest a Kentucky grand jury’s decision not to file homicide charges against the police officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor. I don’t mean to imply that there haven’t been protests in Richmond since early summer, there have, but last night’s seems like the most well attended in at least a month (although I’m having trouble keeping track of time lately). Jimmie Lee Jarvis has, of course, a long Twitter thread of photos and videos from throughout the night as does the CT’s Hannah Eason. While dozens of gear-laden riot police did show up to Protect Their House (from line dancing??) and stand in intimidating lines, it sounds like that was mostly the extent of their actions throughout the night. I think a couple protestors were either detained or arrested for unclear reasons, but, I didn’t see any explosions, clouds of gas, or wizzing rubber bullets. I’m thankful for that. I did however see plenty of mask-less cops; I count at least 11 in this one photo.Style Weekly has a mayoral questionnaire about the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority that you should read. Public Housing is one of those things in Richmond where it’s not always obvious which part of our government is responsible for which part of the process. I’m still learning, but a few things I’m keeping in mind while reading this survey: A ton of the money to support our local housing programs comes from the federal government, that said the Mayor puts together the budget which should reflect his or her priorities, and (as Councilmember Jones reminded us the other day) City Council approves that budget while alsoappointing the RRHA board—a board responsible for making sure the Authority wins those important federal dollars. Feels like an ouroboros sometimes.I love intersection murals, and Bike Walk RVA has an application in front of the Public Art Commission today to lay down two on the Southside (PDF)—one at Hull Street & 11th Street and one at Lynhaven Avenue & Wright Avenue. Silly Genius and the All City Art Club will provide the art, some of which you’ve definitely seen pop up around town. I love this bit from All City Art Club’s about page: “Founded by Silly Genius, All City Art Club’s mission is to introduce street art to underserved communities without the goal of tourism or gentrification. Residents should not have to be pushed out in order to make a community beautiful.”Via /r/rva, look at this render? drawing? actual old photo of City Hall? with a park on the Marshall Street side of the building. Did this actually exist before the Social Services building got built?? Regardless, now I get why the “back” of City Hall looks so much like it should be the front.First, there’s a free COVID-19 testing event today at the Randolph Community Center(1415 Grayland Ave) from 9:00 AM–11:00. This one is not rain-or-shine and has a back-up rain location, so keep an eye on the sky! Second, it is definitely flu season—like, regular ol' flu, not, fingers crossed, pandemic flu. As such, our local health district will kick off their free flu vaccination clinics for uninsured and underinsured folks on October 2nd. Spread the word, not the virus!This morning’s longreadThe Big and the SmallHow big is big and how small is small is something that our human brains have a really hard time understanding. This piece will momentarily help, but your dumb brain will instantly forget the second you finish reading.The problem with humans talking about sizes is we just don’t have the right words to do it correctly. We can try our best, calling the biggest things “enormous” or “huge” or “vast,” but those are the same words we use to describe elephants or mountains or the ocean. We can try to describe the smallest things by calling them “tiny” or “microscopic”—but those words describe a grain of sand and an amoeba, which are both huge, vast, and enormous compared to all the far smaller objects. Adjectives just aren’t gonna do the job here. So instead, let’s work our way from the biggest to the smallest using a series of steps, and maybe that’ll work better.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out is for Abundant Life Ministries, “working hard to create a better future for the Charlottesville community.”*As the week begins, the statewide seven-day average for positive COVID test results is 5.7 percent, down from 7.2 percent last Monday. Over the weekend, the Virginia Department of Health added 2,436 new cases with 953 on Saturday, 856 on Sunday and 627 this morning. There have been 3,021 deaths, with many of the ones reported last week actually having happened earlier in the pandemic and not reported until now. There were 137 cases of COVID-19 added over the weekend in the Thomas Jefferson Health District, with 64 on Saturday, 54 on Sunday and 19 reported today. Two more deaths have been reported since Friday for a total of 67. The University of Virginia’s COVID tracker has not been updated since Friday, despite reports in the Cavalier Daily that day that as many as four residence halls have had their populations tested due to positive tests and early detection in wastewater. *With the end of September approaching, Albemarle and Charlottesville are coming closer to the first nine-week period of the public school year. Last week, news came out that Charlottesville City Schools have put together a committee to help “plan a safe return to in-person learning.” Slides distributed after a meeting last week show that one option is to return pre-K through second grade as early as October 13 for four days a week. Older students would begin in-person instruction soon after. (reopening slides)“A survey will be sent to families next week regarding their intent to remain on a virtual schedule or plan for their children to return to school with the proposed plan,” reads one of the slides.Krissy Vick, the school’s community relations liaison, sent an email to parents that said the slides were a starting point for the committee’s discussion. “Returning to in-person instruction will take time, information, and multiple revisions to a plan,” Vick said “The School Board will vote on the final plan. Keep in mind that we will continue to offer families the choice for all-online learning -- and to the greatest degree possible, we will allow staff this choice, also.”The next scheduled School Board meeting is on October 1. *Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville has broken ground for the redevelopment of the Southwood Mobile Home Park off of Old Lynchburg Road in Albemarle County. Habitat purchased the site in 2007. Dan Rosensweig is president and CEO of Habitat.  “See, thirteen years ago, this community was facing a deeply uncertain future,” Rosensweig said. “Like a lot of trailer parks in the nation, it’s underground infrastructure had basically passed its useful life.” Rosensweig said there was also development pressure on the property and residents asked the owner at the time to sell to Habitat. The organization was working on redevelopment of the Sunrise Trailer Court in Charlottesville. Now Habitat has been working with Albemarle County on a multiphase effort to redevelop the site without displacing residents. “We come up with a plan of development that within the next ten years or so is going to turn this wonderful community of people into a wonderful community of people who are here, new people who are joining the community, new homes, and a little downtown core,” Rosensweig said. Albemarle Supervisors voted on a rezoning last year that paves the way for the first phase, which will take place along Old Lynchburg Road and does not involve any of the existing trailer homes. Scottsville District Supervisor Donna Price was not on the board when the rezoning happened, but she is supportive of the funding Albemarle has committed to the project. “When I think of Southwood, I think of the core values of non-displacement and sustainability,” Price said. “When I think I see Southwood, I see a representation of an essential public-private partnership that will produce a neighborhood consistent with Albemarle County’s Comprehensive Plan.”*In a time of restaurant closings, one space on the Downtown Mall is set to reopen tomorrow. The Champion Hospitality Group will take over the Commonwealth Restaurant with a new space called Passiflora. The new restaurant will offer “a Baja-Mediterranean-inspired menu of small plates.” According to a release, the restaurant will open for dinner with limited indoor and outdoor seating, following CDC guidelines for safe social distancing. Last night, Bashir’s restaurant in the same block had a farewell dinner to mark its impending closure. *Today in meetings, the Albemarle Architectural Review Board meets at 1 p.m. (meeting info)Sheetz is building a convenience store in the northwest quadrant of the U.S. 29 and Airport Road intersection and needs design approval. The ARB did not grant an approval at its June 1 meeting.

Kim Harris, manager since January 2003, told the local press: "Why does the chairman deserve the money from selling the lease when he wouldn't be at this stage if it wasn't for the Kingstonian name? He is raping the club and has put a sword right through the heart of Kingstonian."Chris Kelly: "If I had proposed selling the lease in my time at the club I would have been hung from Kingston Bridge."14.4.2003 Kingstonian Supporters Trust formed. Aim to take over club. They ask Khosla to donate £200,00 from the profit he made on the ground. He says no.

Listen as Gino Jr. tells the tale of the store's beginning with the groundwork being laid when his father attended jewelers training in New Castle, PA through the G.I. Bill. After learning how to handle engraving, mostly for jewelers, he earned himself a reputation for his fine, high quality work. "The awards business and jewelry business went hand in hand," Gino says. He offers some family history, tracing his ancestors back to Abruzzo, Italy, an hour due east of Rome, and details his Italian upbringing. Surprisingly, he explains that he never planned to join the family business. Instead, he paved his own way, intending to become a professor with an interest in philosophy. But some store circumstances led to him becoming very involved. He reports that some of his relatives were responsible for building the very recognizable red brick store on Richmond Road. He also sheds light on many other aspects of the company's operations.

The grounds of the Henry Clay estate at Ashland Park are home to over 400 trees representing 44 species. When a black maple on the corner of Sycamore and Richmond Road died in the Spring of 2013, leaving just a stump on the busy intersection, local artist Kiptoo Tarus had an idea. WUKY’s Samantha Lederman has the rest of the story.

To kick things off, we take a trip down memory lane - actually we take Richmond Road past Victory Boulevard - and Sal shares stories along the way about his groovy musical upbringing, delivering pizza to Wu-Tang Clan, and his meticulous dedication to preparing fresh playlists each night to set the mood while bartending. Turning our attention to Touch, Sal and Josh both agree Annie Lennox is the female David Bowie, pushing the edges of the pop genre, and doubling down on experimentation in Eurythmics' third album following up the worldwide hit song Sweet Dreams. This music represents the early 80's.

This conversation explores how Mr. Doss, a Detroit native of humble origins, transitioned out of corporate America after achieving great success with General Motors in Southfield, Michigan. He details how, in 2010, the doors opened at his franchise in Harvard Park, near the corner of Harvard and Richmond Road in Warrensville Heights. His location leads the market in Northeast Ohio in terms of retail sales, a significant achievement in and of itself, but accomplished while having the smallest stand-alone structure in the area. When total sales are considered, including outside sales and catering, the franchise ranked #2 in 2017, another monumental accomplishment. Mr. Doss shares details surrounding how it was a tough journey at the beginning when he was working 80 hour weeks. "In the first 90 days, I wanted to give the keys back." Listen as he describes how he came to understand that he was in business for himself but not by himself and grew more comfortable with developing and relying on his team. He employs around 80 people and has drawn satisfaction through seeing some of them advance from taking the bus to work to owning their own car. His wife, Gale, handles marketing for the franchise and is a key decision maker for the operation. Mr. Doss has been very active in the community and has engaged in mentorship with students in neighboring schools including the Warrensville Heights City School District, Shaker Heights and Orange, focusing on leadership skills. He also has spent time with youths in a local juvenile detention center to help them plan for their futures. "The young people are part of my heart." He also regularly donates Chick-Fil-A food to charitable causes.

Today on Trade Local, Andy Kim tells us all about his family's restaurant, Fuji Kim's.Welcome to another edition of Trade Local, brought to you by the Chad Raney Team and Keller Williams. Our Trade Local series is here to bring your awareness to local businesses. Today, we're talking to Andy Kim from Fuji Kim's Sushi and Grill. The Kim family came here from South Korea and became American citizens. They are a great family who has had a lot of triumph and some tragedies throughout the years. Through it all, they have become a closer family and built a great business here in town based on great relationships, great service, and great food. So, what's the history behind Fuji Kim's? Andy is the manager at Fuji Kim's. “I was born and raised in Seoul, and we came to the U.S. about 18 years ago, when I was 11 years old. The first city we moved to was Nashville, AR. My parents had a job in Texarkana as servers, so they commuted back and forth every single day.” Andy's family decided to move to Texarkana to cut down on the commute, and they have been here for about 17 years.“We've been in the restaurant business ever since we moved to the states,” says Andy. “My parents worked very hard for all this time and I wanted to help out, so when I turned 16, I started working in the restaurant business and haven't stopped.”Andy's family worked at a local Japanese restaurant for six or seven years when tragedy struck. “We lost my sister in a car accident,” says Andy. “It was hard for a long time. One of the dreams she always had was to open our own restaurant, so we decided to open Fuji Kim's to honor her memory. So that's how this came about. It's not just a restaurant for us; it's everything, really.” Andy's family opened Fuji Kim's to honor his sister's memory. Choosing a name was a little difficult. “We couldn't think of a name that was somewhat Japanese-related, so we thought, ‘What is the most Japanese word we could think of?' And we remembered Fuji, like Mount Fuji,” Andy explains. “So we chose that and added our last name at the end. We wanted to put our name out there so it represents us because it's our restaurant. That's how the name came about.”Fuji Kim's is a Japanese restaurant, but Andy says, “Since we are Koreans, we like to incorporate Korean flavor into our food. So we serve sushi and grilled entrees, but we also serve Korean barbecue. We are the only ones who serve it in town.” Andy goes on, saying, “Our most popular item is the fried rice. We go through about 1,900 pounds of rice every two weeks, and most of that goes into the fried rice. Then we have our sushi. Some people call it traditional, but I don't want to call it traditional because I'm not Japanese and it's our own style of sushi. A lot of people like it. We've been voted the No. 1 Asian/sushi restaurant in the area many times over the past decade, so I think people like it very much.” Fuji Kim's is located at 2830 Richmond Road and is open Monday through Saturday. Monday through Thursday, the restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, the restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Since it's a family restaurant, they get to choose which holidays to close for; usually, though, they only close for the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Andy would like to take a moment to thank their customers. “Without them, we wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be able to have what I have, and we're definitely blessed to have a good customer base. Because of them, we get to open up a scholarship at Texarkana College under my sister's name every semester. I have incredible customers and I want to thank every single one of them, I really do.” Fuji Kim's has been a personal favorite of mine for many years. It's a great place to gather with family and friends to enjoy some delicious food. If you have any questions for Andy, you can reach him at (903) 334-6903. As always, if you have any questions for me, just give me a call or send me an email. Let me know if you would like your business to be featured on Trade Local, too. I look forward to hearing from you!
