The James River Journal installment that runs Monday (Oct. 19) will be the last. I hope you hate to see it go. I know I do.

The year passed quickly. Photographer Kevin Morley and I began the project—a story a month for a year—last November with a piece about Richmond in fall.

We started in November with the idea that we would finish in October 2009, then turn the series into a calendar for 2010.

The calendar may or may not happen. But the Journal will live on in a bigger, better way. How? Find out by reading Monday’s paper.
