Richmond, Virginia, is a hopping place. It isn't a huge city, but being the capital of VA it's got a fair amount of people in it. There are many great places to hang- Sweet Frog, Can Can, World of Mirth, some awesome places. It is generally a nice place to be, but there are some sketchy areas that you should avoid, such as the rougher places in Carrytown. All in all, Richmond is a nice place to be, and a visit to Shortpump shopping center is essential for that outdoor mall experience we all love.
Let's go to Richmond, Virginia!
Yo dude, let's do it. I could use a good walk and some bitchin fro-yo from Sweet Frog. Let's hit it up!
