Gun ad was over the top
The Chesterfield Observer is a true asset to our community as it provides a forum on local issues and includes information in a timely manner. As a person who feels gun safety (or the lack thereof) is a major community issue, and national issue, I was shocked to see the full page ad appearing in the June 29 issue paid […]
Demolition work
My other half loves it when I watch these flip-the-house shows. They have such great ideas, and many of them could be incorporated into our house. Just the other day I told him our house was perfect for that “Let’s tear that wall down so we have greater visibility through the kitchen” plan. He just looked at me and shook […]

Publix skips over Chesterfield in takeover of Martin’s
As the Richmond area’s grocery wars continue, another battle has been won and lost; last week, Florida-based chain Publix announced that it would take over 10 local Martin’s Food Markets. Only one of those locations is located in Chesterfield: the store at 13700 Hull Street Road in the Harbour Pointe Village shopping center. Publix largely avoided Martin’s stores south of […]
Children need diversity in books

I’ve read the article in the Chesterfield Observer regarding parents calling out the summer reading list [“Parents call out summer reading lists: ‘vile, nasty,’” June 22 issue].
