A Civic Square for the Neighborhood: James S. Christian, Jr., Park Transformation Begins

At the intersection of Chimborazo Blvd., Oakwood Ave., and P St. sits a small urban space with a handsome memorial celebrating the life of Richmonder James S. Christian, Jr. A brief biography about Mr. Christian can be found here: https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/christian-james-s-1918-1982/

The Church Hill Central Civic Association (CHCCA) reached out to Capital Trees to help apply for a grant to create a beautiful and functional open space at this intersection, in the heart of the community.
