RIMBY Festival Recap!

“Don’t let a little rain stop you from getting outside!”

This was the theme at Beyond Boundaries’ 2021 RIMBY (Right In Your Back Yard) Festival hosted at Libbie Lake Pier on Saturday October 9th. It marked the 2nd time the annual fundraising event has been hosted at Libbie Mill, and offered our residents and visitors the opportunity to engage with a variety of businesses and organizations that support Beyond Boundaries’ mission and goal of guiding participants with disabilities, veterans, at-risk youth, and recovery programs on outdoor adventures.

While the day brought a steady helping of wet weather, Libbie Mill - Midtown was a buzz of activity and fun for the whole family. As some visitors completed their “vendor scavenger hunts” by checking in at vendors booths like Airrosti, Wildlife Resources, SheJumps, Sportable, Garden Witchery, Chesterfield County Parks & Recreations and many more, others enjoyed local eats by King of Pops, Yum Yum Food Truck, Noah’s Rocking Buns, BKs Loaded Kitchen, and samples from the event’s BBQ cookoff competitors. The Festival even had adult beverages covered with beer from Hardywood and Vasen! Libbie Mill - Midtown is proud to be a location sponsor of the RIMBY Festival and we hope to welcome even more visitors to next year’s event.

Check out some of the photos of the day, captured by Lindsey Sawer (IG @lindzslens). Also visit Beyond Boundaries website for more information about how you can get involved in supporting their mission! See you next year!

Meet the Stables Market Team - An Interview

Stables Market recently announced their brand new concept coming to Libbie Mill - Midtown in early Summer 2021. The new market will be opening in a brand new space on the northwestern corner of the Penstock Quarter building, overlooking Libbie Lake Pier. We conducted a brief interview with owner Steven Gooch to introduce this new market style concept to residents and visitors.

Follow along on the Stables Market Facebook Page for timely updates.

What inspired the idea for Stables Market?

“The COVID pandemic changed the restaurant industry almost overnight.  Suddenly dine in was gone or greatly reduced, take out became a larger or only outlet to reach customers, and yet all the fixed costs of kitchens and facilities, rent, utilities, core staff, still remained.  We needed to find an additional way to reach customers with the great food I knew Chef Evan was creating. “

Why are you excited to be at Libbie Mill - Midtown? What led you to choose it as the location for Stables Market?

“I know several people who live in Libbie Mill, and one thing I kept hearing was that a market was needed here.  I knew how successful several other restaurants had been implementing a grab and go market concept; and felt we could do it too. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to expand The Stables to a new market, while meeting a clear need for the neighborhood.  This is a growing, vibrant community, and it felt like something we should be a part of.” 

What sets Stables Market apart from other retail grocery stores? What products or services may customers expect to find at Stables?

“The Stables Market will be just that, a market.  We will be bringing restaurant quality food in a grab and go format, along with gourmet grocery items, produce, some staples, local products and crafts, and a few convenience items.  We will also highlight all the great craft beer brewed in the region and a great selection of wines.”

What type of experience may customers expect when they visit Stables? What is your message to folks that live, work or play at Libbie Mill?

“Being just an elevator ride a way for so many people, walking distance for others, we will provide the convenience of being able to grab a quick meal, a bottle of wine, desert, or just a bag of chips without having to get in your car.”

When do you plan to open the market?

“We are doing our best to be open in May.”

Meet the Airrosti Team - An Interview

Airrosti Rehab Centers recently joined the mix of service providers opening shop at Libbie Mill - Midtown. They will be opening their new space in the Tanner Row Building facing The Corner Shops. We conducted a brief interview asking the team to introduce Airrosti to the community.

Meet the team ahead of their opening in Summer 2021!

Why are you excited to be at Libbie Mill - Midtown?

“We are excited to be able to impact more patients in the Richmond area with the addition of our 6th and largest location at Libbie Mill - Midtown.” 

What led you to choose it as the location for Airrosti?

“Since opening our doors in 2012, Dr. Josh McCreadie has been working to improve the lives of patients in Richmond, Virginia, the University of Richmond, and surrounding areas, providing safe and effective, long-term pain and injury resolution. It was important to find a convenient and vibrant location for our patients.  We are excited to expand our clinic space and add Dr. Ally Jackson to our new practice location at Libbie Mill.”

What sets Airrosti apart from other rehabilitation care providers?

“Our hands-on musculoskeletal treatment has been demonstrated to accurately diagnose and rapidly resolve the source of most pain and injuries, helping patients return to pain-free activity as quickly as possible. Most patients report complete injury resolution in an average of three visits. (Based on patient-reported outcomes)”

What products or services may customers expect to find at Airrosti?

“Airrosti Rehab Centers (Airrosti), specialize in delivering high-quality, outcome-based musculoskeletal care, both in person and virtually through Airrosti Remote Recovery (ARR). Frequently found to be a viable alternative to surgery, Airrosti in Richmond may help you avoid painful, expensive, unnecessary treatments and procedures. We also have a proven track record of helping patients significantly reduce or eliminate the need for prescription pain killers and long-term pain management plans.”

What type of experience may customers expect when they visit Airrosti? What is your message to folks that live, work or play at Libbie Mill, and when do you plan to open your new location?

“With 5-star reviews on Yelp, Google, and Facebook you can trust Airrosti with everything from hip to knee and shoulder pain, as well as injuries, including plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, sprains, pulls, and more. Airrosti plans to open the Libbie Mill location in late spring. We encourage you to schedule your worry-free first appointment, and we at Airrosti look forward to helping you quickly get back to enjoying life pain free.”

Richmond will be our 32nd location. When considering where to enter in the Richmond market we wanted to move into a location that our agents would love to go to work at everyday. A place they would be proud to call their office. We wanted great signage and visibility. We wanted a location that I could easily recruit agents into. We wanted a first class place to call our first home. We found all that and more at Libbie Mill. We found a beautiful town center that our agents and their clients could walk around and enjoy shopping, eating and the grounds. The location has ample parking for the in and out lifestyle of a Realtor. It is super convenient to get to off of 95 or 64.  We are thrilled to become partners at Libbie Mill and looking forward to hitting the Richmond area with a big splash,” said Donny Samson, CEO of Samson Properties, of the impending move into the Richmond market.
