It might surprise you to learn that a top Hollywood production designer lives in Richmond. His name is David Crank, and he’s been involved with drama since high school when he learned to craft scenery for school plays. He studied art at William and Mary, then found work on historical dramas shot here in Virginia. He won an Emmy for his work on the John Adams series and met one of the producers – Tom Hanks. In 2019, he was called to work on another film – this one starring Hanks as a Civil War veteran traveling through towns in Texas, performing a unique service – reading newspaper stories aloud to locals.
EDMONTON Tobogganing is a great way to get outside to enjoy the winter weather. With continued COVID-19 restrictions on indoor gatherings, many Edmontonians are hitting the hills for some exercise and entertainment outside. So where are the best places to go? CTV Edmonton s Kimberly Wynn put some of the top spots to the test.
WHITEMUD PARK NORTH Whitemud Park North, also known as the bumpy ride, is just off of Fox Drive. The hill has a lot of jumps and bumps but the wooden staircase to the top of the hill makes the climb up a bit easier.

Brave New World
Even in the best of times, opening a restaurant is a risky endeavor. Opening a restaurant during a pandemic is essentially uncharted territory. While Richmond has lost a number of independent restaurants due to pandemic pressures, including gems that helped shape the dining scene, the region has also witnessed an influx of new dining establishments. We look at some of these recent additions, from a chef-driven pizzeria in Scottâs Addition to a Black-owned juice bar in the Fan and an urban oasis in Fulton Hill. Although face masks, takeout boxes and COVID protocols were not a part of the ownersâ original visions, they have embraced concepts they hope can thrive in the current climate, exhibiting the tenacity restaurateurs are known for.
