Richmond, VA - It Ain't All Bad.....

by drdevience Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 27 '03
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 ...

A Capital Place for a Mid-Atlantic Weekend Getaway!

by mrkstvns mrkstvns is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 20 '01
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...

Children's Museum of Richmond

by stacyb , Jan 04 '03
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....

Richmond... Didn't some war happen there?

by bupkiss , Jun 09 '01
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...

The Confederate White House

by Don_Krider Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 21 '00
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...

UGLY, I don't think so!

by inlinerva , Mar 09 '00
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...

Richmond - A Capital Delight

by Christene , Mar 14 '00
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...

Edgar Allan Poe Museum

by hbomb , Dec 30 '99
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...

My Beautiful City

by ncaagirl , Sep 19 '00
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...

Hollywood Cemetery - Corpses of the Confederacy

by realtraveller Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 23 '00

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....

A Charming City

by kdoyle01 , Apr 18 '00
Pros: Beauty, Restaurants, Shopping
Cons: Parking
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.

Home Sweet Home

by Plumdogger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 14 '00
Pros: Great Diversity
Cons: Some Parts of Town are Bad at Night
Okay, this is going to be a totally biased opinion of Richmond, VA by a hometown boy who loves his hometown. With that out of the way I will proceed.

I have lived in Richmond for almost 19 years now. Recently I have had the opportunity to live...

Virginia State Capitol Building

by xrae , Oct 09 '99
Pros: Free, educational, beautiful
Cons: lack of parking
Even if you travel to Richmond only on business you should take an hour or so out of your day to visit the Virginia State Capitol building.

Originally designed by Thomas Jefferson, it is a beautifully simple building. Even though there is no...
