National Night Out In Bellevue

08.2023

Hundreds attended this year’s National Night Out held from 6 pm till 8 pm August 1 on the 4000 block of MacArthur Avenue in the heart of Bellevue on Richmond’s Northside. It was an evening of family-fun activities—including the ever-popular misting tent (perfect for a sweltering late summer evening)—and a time for first responders to meet with the citizenry they are sworn to serve and to protect. 

Virtually every Bellevue merchant offered a variety of food and beverages. Jimmy Tsamouras, of Dot’s and Demi’s, served up a gazpacho, while Bob and Rob Kocher of Once Upon A Vine handed out popsicles and other frosty treats. Brenda and Joe Stankus, owners of The Painting Class and Classic Touch Cleaning, handed out bags of popcorn.  Down the street, at Neighbor, they handed out fresh-squeezed limeades, and at Zorba’s Pizza Express garlic knots. Robert Shore and his team from Decatur’s Garage served up snow cones, the perfect antidote to the August heat and humidity.
