Brown's Island

Brown's Island is an artificial island on the James River in Richmond, Virginia, formed by the Haxall Canal. Part of the city's James River Park System, it is a popular concert and festival venue. The Rivanna Subdivision Trestle and T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge cross over the island. Geography Brown's Island was formed in 1789 during the construction of the Haxall Canal. A spillway between Brown's Island and Johnson's Island was filled in 1970, merging the two islands. A walkway extends south atop the old VEPCO Levee from the island into the James River, and another extends north along the Brown's Island Dam. History Pre-industrial The island was formed in 1789 during the construction of the Haxall Canal. The island was named after Elijah Brown, who acquired the land in 1826. The island was briefly known as Neilson's Island, after a subsequent owner, before its name returned to Brown's Island. In the early nineteenth century, a private pleasure garden, named Prior’s Gardens, was built on the island. During the American Civil War, the island was the home of the Confederate States Laboratory. The facility produced ammunition, friction primers, percussion caps, and other ordnance for the Confederate war effort. On March 13, 1863, an explosion occurred in a section of the laboratory that killed 50 and injured 14 people. Most of the killed and injured were young girls who were the labor force used on the island. Industrial age In 1894, Richmond Railway & Electric opened a coal power plant on the island, which powered the Richmond Union Passenger Railway. In 1899, a hydroelectric power plant on the island's east side, running off the Haxall Canal. The coal power plant was reopened as the Dixie Paper Mill in 1916. A steam-generated power plant was built on the island in 1936. Starting in 1955, electricity production at the hydroelectric plant decreased, and ended altogether in 1965. In 1969, the steam power plant was damaged and shut down by flooding from Hurricane Camille. In 1970, the spillway between Johnson's and Brown's Islands was closed and the islands merged. Hurricane Agnes also flooded and closed the coal power plant in 1972, and the plant was closed altogether in 1975. Modern age In 1987, the Albemarle Paper Company gifted the island to the city, which incorporated it into the James River Park System. In 1993, Paul Di Pasquale's sculpture Headman was erected on the island's Eastside, depicting a man steering a James River Batteaux boat. In 1999, the Army Corps of Engineers refurbished the Haxall canal into a canal walk. The steam power plant was renovated in 2005. In 2016, the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge was opened, connecting the island to Manchester for pedestrians and cyclists. The island serves as a venue for concerts and outdoor events, such as Riverrock, the Friday Cheers concert series, and the Richmond Folk Festival. References External links Official site
Bruin's Slave Jail

Bruin's Slave Jail is a two-story brick building in Alexandria, Virginia, in which slave trader Joseph Bruin imprisoned slaves. Bruin's company, called Bruin and Hill, transported enslaved Americans of African descent to slave markets in the Southern United States. At the start of the American Civil War, Bruin was captured and imprisoned in Washington, D.C. His property, including the slave jail, was confiscated by U.S. Marshals and used as the Fairfax County Courthouse until 1865. All that remains today of the entire compound is a two-story brick structure that housed the enslaved people. Bruin's home, kitchen, and wash-house no longer remain.

Dedicated in 2002, the majority of the preserve is owned and operated by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF). The preserve harbors a number of outstanding natural community types, some of which are rare in the Commonwealth. There are also quartzite cliffs and boulder fields around High Point Mountain within the preserve's boundaries. While most of the preserve is prioritized for scientific and educational activities, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation keeps 800 acres of the preserve open to the public on weekends (Friday-Sunday) for low-impact uses such as hiking and wildlife observation. On November 25, 2014, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation announced that the private landowner of the High Point Cliffs area of the preserve would close the cliffs to the public for an indefinite period of recovery and restoration, starting January 15, 2015.

Bunny Man

Bunny Man (z ang. Człowiek-królik) – rzekomy seryjny morderca z amerykańskiej legendy miejskiej, postać ze współczesnego folkloru. W zależności od wersji legendy jest: bezdomnym lub chorym psychicznie mężczyzną w stroju królika, duchem, kimś ubranym w królicze futra albo osobą, która mordowała i wieszała dzieci, ponieważ ich nie lubiła. Z Bunny Manem były powiązane morderstwa: zabójstwo Evy Roy w 1918 roku, morderstwo Minnie, Loretty i Catherine Ridgeway w 1927 roku oraz zabójstwo Francesa i June Holoberów w 1949 roku. Pochodzenie i historia legendy Legenda o Bunny Manie jest najprawdopodobniej wzorowana na wydarzeniach kryminalnych z hrabstwa Fairfax w Wirginii. Od Halloween w roku 1970 w lokalnej prasie zaczęły pojawiać się wzmianki o mężczyźnie w stroju białego (lub biało-szaro-czarnego) królika z dwoma długimi uszami. Ów człowiek dopuszczał się takich czynów jak rzucanie toporkami w okna samochodów czy dewastowanie siekierą jednego z miejscowych domów. Legenda miejska przez ponad 25 lat krążyła jedynie w postaci ustnej wśród miejscowej młodzieży, lecz w 1999 roku opisano ją w Internecie na stronie castleofspirits.com. Według źródła historia Bunny Mana sięga aż 1903 roku. Historia ze strony wiąże Bunny Mana z serią brutalnych morderstw popełnionych przy Bunny Man Bridge i utożsamia go z Douglasem J. Grifonem – rzekomym uciekinierem ze szpitala psychiatrycznego. Wpływ na kulturę Na podstawie owej legendy powstała creepypasta, która doczekała się tłumaczenia na język polski. Bunny Man jest także tytułowym bohaterem trylogii slasherów, w której skład wchodzą: Bunnyman, Bunnyman 2 (znanego również jako Bunnyman Massacre lub The Bunnyman Massacre) i Bunnyman Vengeance.

Човек-зец

Човек-зец (енгл. Bunny Man) је урбана легенда која је 1970. настала због два инцидента у округу Ферфакс у савезној држави Вирџинији, али је проширена у подручју Вашингтона. Постоји пуно варијанти ове легенде, али у већини је то човек који носи одело зеца и напада људе секиром. У неким гласинама се спомиње да се сваке године током "Ноћи вештица" дух Човека-зеца појављује поводом обележавања његове смрти, тада се као појављују унакажена трупла. Постоји и мост који је назван по њему. Полиција је отворила истрагу за оба инцидента, али оба су на крају затворена због недостатка доказа. У недељама после инцидената, више од 50 људи је контактирало полицију тврдећи да су видели Човека-зеца.

Burgundy Farm Country Day School

Burgundy Farm Country Day School is an independent school on a 25-acre (100,000 m2) campus in the Rose Hill census-designated place of Fairfax County, Virginia, United States, with an Alexandria postal address, and 611 acres (2.47 km2) in West Virginia. It serves students in grades Junior Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. History The school was founded in 1946 by a group of concerned parents, which included some Quakers and also included noted CBS broadcast journalist Eric Sevareid and his wife Lois. In 1950, Burgundy became the first school in the Commonwealth of Virginia to racially integrate and worked actively to attract non-white students. Camay Calloway Murphy, daughter of Jazz bandleader and singer Cab Calloway, became one of the first African-Americans to teach at a white school when she accepted a position at Burgundy in the early 1950s. Campus The school's main campus is located on a former dairy farm just outside the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia beltway. In 2018, the school renovated the commons and added an arts building known as The Loft. Center for Wildlife Studies Burgundy's second campus, a 524-acre (212 ha) wildlife preserve in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia called the Burgundy Center for Wildlife Studies, is commonly referred to as "the Cove." All classes, beginning with first grade, visit the Cove for intensive study in science and natural history biannually. The Cove recently acquired another 24 acres (9.7 ha), from landowners surrounding the property. The funding for the purchase of these extra 24 acres came from "The Big Hike", in which a Burgundy teacher, sometimes accompanied by students, hiked from his home in Alexandria to The Cove. Summer Camps The two campuses both offer a summer camp with open enrollment. The main campus is a summer day camp for 3 years, 8 months to 12 years old. The Burgundy Center campus hosts primarily sleep-away nature-oriented summer camp programs for 8 to 15 year olds and adults.
