Talk of the Point

The little house just up West Richmond from Point Richmond Market, occupied by the 88-year-old Vera Ridley and somehow included in N.I.C.E, is to be taken out of the district. That’s according to correspondent Andrew Butt, whom I ran into outside the post office a few hours ago.

Chief N.I.C.E. basher Richard Lompa has often cited the house’s inclusion–and the expected increase in Vera Ridley’s taxes–as a reason to vote no.

The following letter, on Point Richmond Business Association stationery, has been sent.

July 15, 2005

Dear Marco:

Please be advised that the steering committee voted on and passed the removal of Vera Ridley, parcel number 558 140 024 from the NICE District. Please make the appropriate adjustments with the City of Richmond.

Thank you,

Paula C. Asmus, O.D.
Chair, NICE District Committee
