Folks,
 
I thought about something today, while I was driving down Patterson looking at the fall foliage, smiling at the other Richmond commuters hurrying to their destinations; I love Richmond! I love it's history, architecture, restaurants, universities, nightlife, museums, communities and most notably the river. There has been a recent flood of attention to Richmond. One of my favorites is this youtube video created by a couple of local guys trying to put Richmond on the video map:  The hilarity of the clip is matched only by the truth of the story told.

 
Another great example is this article written by Justin Bergman from the New York Times:  The artist depicted in the first photograph is Amanda Robinson, the Executive Director of Gallery5. I really enjoyed this article and the spot light that the New York Times put on Richmond. What really brings it home for me, is the fact that Amanda and I went to high school together. That's Richmond for you! Isn't her little girl Azadeh adorable?
 
Someone asked me the other day, what didn't I like about Richmond? And this came to mind: Flying Squirrels.   I don't want to gripe about this too much, but I am pretty sure that we could have come up with a better name than that, right? However, as a proud Richmonder, I will go to the games and I will have a collection of "Flying Squirrel" hats some day.
 
You have to admit, this big-little-city really does have it all: history, big city life with a small town feel, the river, parks , schools, sports, nightlife, museums/attractions , culture, business and mostly importantly - the residents who make this "Cap City" such a great place to live.

Thanks for reading! But thank you even more for leaving a comment!!
