HOPEWELL - Downtown Thunder Cruise-In is scheduled to take place this Thursday night behind the historic Beacon Theatre on Appomattox Street.
Hundreds of motorcyclists will roll into Downtown Hopewell on Appomattox Street to share their “pride & joy” rides with the community. The roar of the engines brings energy and you have to see the amazing cars, boasted presenters Hopewell Downtown Partnership. There is music and food and everyone has a great time on these summer nights.
The event once held in Old Towne Petersburg was created with the idea that Downtown Thunder attendees will patronize local businesses.

HOPEWELL - Less than a dozen Second Amendment supporters participated in the Freedom Walk held in downtown Hopewell on Saturday.
One attendee was of the canine persuasion: a pit bull named Odie toting two Kimel revolvers owned by Ed Houser of Hopewell.
Interested parties were invited to join the walk legally and safely carrying open, concealed, or unarmed long guns or handguns. Walkers not carrying any guns were welcome as well. Wearing face masks was optional, but a six-foot distance between walkers was requested.
When I arrived on the corner of Library Street and E. Cawson Street, participants were purchasing Right to Bear Arms Virginia merchandise for Christmas gifts and others were paying membership dues. Before they began walking, the host Right to Bear Arms Virginia President Brandon Howard took a group photo.
