    Richmond has came up A LOT! Gentrification had a lot to do with it but... this my hometown I live about 20 minutes south of the city now in the burbs. Lots of nice restaurants and bars, history. Club scene is ok, not quite like a major city but depends on your style (never really been a club person it’s dead to me). Basically a two hour ride from Va Beach, apple picking in the mountains, Maryland/Washington DC and even NC give or take with traffic... makes good for day trips! I can be your tour guide LOL...but seriously!

    You really have to know where you are going. I was there in August, 1975 and toured. I stopped for lunch. After I had entered the restaurant and sat down, the waitress gave me a coldest stare and the dirtiest look. After a minute or two, she asked me: What ' ll you have?! I said slowly being very scared: a hamburger.. and French fries... and a chocolate milkshake. Then the two men working on the street came in for lunch. One was in his forties and appeared to be the supervisor of the other in his thirties. I saw the older one motion with his thumb to the younger one while I was looking through the large mirrors behind the waitress. Before they sat down, he said: I didn't know that they served n______ in here.
