Pros: Historic Cons: err I live here, I hate it.. LOL
Richmond is a nice place to visit for a week, but you don't want to live here. I've been here 6 years now, so maybe I can give you a bit of a handle on what to do and where to eat and things along those lines. I've been a lot of places and Richmond ...
Pros: State capitol, Museum of the Confederacy, restaurants and clubs in Shockoe Slip Cons: Nothing in particular
One of the best things about living on the east coast is that there are so many interesting places and histoical cities within arms reach that there's really no excuse to sit at home on another boring weekend. If you live in the Washington D.C. area, one...
Pros: Creative, educational place to take your children. Cons: none
Hands on fun for the entire family! My folks live in Richmond and we visited for a week-end not too long ago. I have two children, ages 5 and 6. My mother took us to the Children's Museum one morning. For $5 per person we were non-stop for two hours....
Pros: Richmond isn't completely dead. I make my own fun. Cons: Richmond is close to being completely dead. I make my own fun.
Richmond, Virginia is my hometown. I was born here, raised here, and sadly, I will probably die here. (Gee, that's not too morbid for a sunny Saturday morning.) Richmond's a fabulous place to loiter in, explore, and even burn down (the latter...
Pros: A target-rich environment for the Civil War buff. Cons: I have none; some might.
I took the family on a long trip by car from Louisville, Ky., to Norfolk, Va., a few years ago. It's a beautiful journey, really, through some scenic venues and through the mountains. As a Civil War buff, I always am amazed that man, horse and wagon...
Pros: Many things to do all the time Cons: Parking is never enough, and to me usually high.
First of all, let me say that I have lived in surrounding Richmond Area for the past 20 years. I was really outraged with the epinion written by "Minstrelette." I thought that the epinion was "R" written, but the story content was...
Pros: Rich history, sense of old-world style combined with new-age convenience Cons: Traffic, downtown parking
I have made Virginia's capital my home for 21 of my 30 years, living here steadily for the past 12 years. I was born and lived here until the age of 9, and then returned at age 18 to sow my wild oats and eventually settle down and begin my family...
Pros: Focuses on Poe's youth. Some original works. Cons: If you're not a Poe fan, probably won't be interesting
Richmond is home to one of several Poe museums scattered throughout the east coast. What makes this one unique is Richmond is where he grew up, so it focuses more on his past then his writing. I have to admit it was a perfect day to visit; Foggy, dreary...
Pros: Friendly people, lots of attractions, great location Cons: none
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
I get very, very angry when people say that Virginia is not a Southern state. In geography, we are south of the Mason/Dixon line, and in heart, we are as Southern as they come. I likewise...
Pros: A quiet place to contemplate the past Cons: Probably interesting to Civil War buffs only
Situated on a bluff near the James River in the center of Richmond, this old cemetery is the burial place of many famous or infamous figures of the Civil War. There the tombstones of Jefferson Davis and members of his family stand crumbling amid weeds....
Pros: Now features stoplights Cons: Does not feature good cellphone coverage
(location: ~23 miles south-southwest of Richmond)
Dinwiddie County, Virginia is 502 square miles of sheer fun. No matter where you are in the county, there's fun everywhere, as long as you don't get out of your car. Well, okay, so you're...
Anyone who goes to Richmond, and needless to say, visits all of the amazing parts of the city will come out saying the same thing. This city is amazing. All of the history, the architecture, and the charm are what makes Richmond so great.
Pros: easy living, reasonable housing costs, many major corporations, jazz clubs Cons: downtown mostly shutdown in evenings
Richmond is a city with several colleges, universities, and a major medical center. It is the capital of Virginia so the city is full of state office buildings and is a major historical city on the east coast. The city is situated such that it is less...
