Style gets to The Black Sheep

Style Weekly’s John G. Haddad gets to The Black Sheep and has good things to say:

It’s comfort food with flair, all reasonably priced. Roberts and Hess made a conscious decision to price their meals moderately to attract the wide range of clientele that the Carver neighborhood draws. So far it’s working for the diverse distribution of neighborhood, student and foodie guests.

A description of the suspect was quickly obtained and broadcast by responding officers.

Police, he was able to stop the suspect, who was arrested for robbery.

Towards this fall’s elections, richmond.com is profiling the nine different district of Richmond. Today they look at the 2nd District:

District 2/North Central encompasses a wide range of income and racial diversity as it representatives speak for the Gilpin Court public housing complex, the moneyed Monument Avenue, the historic Jackson Ward and Carver neighborhoods, the changing Boulevard and the mix of students, residents and businesses in the Lower Fan.

Here is a more detailed map of the 2nd District, if you’re into that kind of thing.

And ANOTHER rave review for Black Sheep, this time from RVA food blog i wish i could cook:

After dinner on Friday, I’m sold. This place is the best. Homemade deviled eggs, homemade bread and butter pickled veggies, homemade gumbo, homemade blah blah blah. Everything tastes like your mom just made it.
