I hate that city and everything it stands for. 1.

What do you hate about it?

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Gave it a 6.
Been twice, and drove through many times, and can’t really say much about it. Wasn’t very memorable, but I do rock with folks from the city.

Only major city in the state of VA that I felt still was southern.

 

[Jean Jacket]

Seems ok.

Never spent much time there, just passing through.

Nothing stands out.

What do you hate about it?

I can feel the start of the confederacy in the air -
that place is entrenched with racism and segregation.
Real bad aura.

You have a talent for making every city look nice with the opening photos you find @Son_Of_God

Peep the rowhouses in The Fan District.

That doesn’t surprise me at all. Richmond was the capital of the confederacy during the Civil War so racism was most definitely passed down from each generation there.

Thanks. I try to make each city look appealing to everyone.

Never been but my sister has and she said she hated it a lot.

It’s a city that really should be a town. Downtown area can be seen in a quick 20 min drive. The rest of the “city” ain’t nothing like a real city. No good transportation system. No real clubs (va doesn’t allow club only venues). Strip joints have pasties. Only a few bars.


What is amazing is the food, art and live music scene. Also a lot of history here. But if you’re down to find the local spots or the hidden gems, it’ll be a waste of time to come...


Location wise, being 90 mins from DC, Va beach, and NC is good. But still. I’d rather be in DC

 

[mannyrs13]

No knowledge but my good friend @Thatrogueassdiaz is from there so I'll let him give y'all the info.

Oh let me add in the women are a wide range and you can eat. You got the regular hood rats. You got white college girl in VCU downtown. 20 miles down the road you have black college girls at VSU. You got professional women who work downtown.


and they all congregate in Richmond on Thursday-Sunday nights.
