On this episode of History Reinvented, Pine Camp, the stairs to nowhere, part two of my conversation with Emily Monroe, bike advocate and all around cool person, who once fixed my bike when she was a mechanic at Carytown Bikes in Midlothian–RIP that location.

We continue our walk around the Glass Loop, checking out some of the lush greenery and berry plants. Plus we get a visit from some guests. The trail is now a connected biking/walking/running trail in Pine Camp, starting near John Marshall High School.

The trail is filled with invasive species, and families of deer — and historical trash. This is the future of Pine Camp.

I’ve got no sponsors at this time–so, if you’d like to sponsor this podcast series, let me know. I’d love to do other deep dives into the history of Richmond or surrounding areas.
