I actually grew up in richmond & go there once/twice a month, hit me up on icq i can give you the ins & outs on the city.
Some facts.....
- former capital of the confederacy
- very conservative city
- very good nightlife on weekends & weekdays (shocko slip/bottom)
- tons of hot republican girls (driving volvo's & daddys beamer)
- very good internet connections & infrastructure
- decent job market (especially internet related)
- good radio stations (if you're into alternative/rock)
- good clubs with good local bands (guar is from richmond
)
STAY AWAY FROM CHURCH HILL AREA (cannot stress this enough)
Looking for a great weekend welcome to the city?...(Cary Town) Great resteraunts, Arts, & college girls walking all over (near VCU).
Hardly any homeless people....fairly clean streats, fairly safe city (since the jaimacan drug gangs left in the early 90's)
A great place to raise a family, but you may suffer a bit of culture shock, not a very ethnic town.
Hit me up on icq, we'll hit a Richmond Renegades game, & grab a few pints at the penny lane pub
