    I just recently moved from the fan in Richmond. We spent our 30's & 40's 5 mins from a number of great happy hours, in a house with a view of the beautiful old Sauers sign.
    Such lovely area. This has been missing ❤ thank you!!

    I was born and raised in Fairfax County and lived in Tennessee and Texas for a few years, my knowledge of Richmond is based off US history. Would Richmond be a bad place to live for an Indian American?

    • @LaurenZRay
      @LaurenZRay  6 місяців тому +1

      @@eashanahluwalia9599 The history of Richmond is lengthy and sometimes very dark BUT those days are behind us, and it’s becoming a very welcoming city of all types of people. There are always still ways to go with everything but you’ll find the people (especially young people) within the city accepting and very unique.
      One of the reasons I wanted to live there is because I’m a weird person and I felt I fit in in Richmond. The people who tend to gravitate towards Richmond are artists, creatives, progressives and people who want change. This of course is just my opinion and I’m a white woman with limited perspective on certain things, but I think you’d like it!

    You have no idea how much Richmond has changed and believe me, it's changed for the better. As long as the new folk come here and really want to add value and love Richmond the way we've been doing for years, it will continue to be an exciting place. We bought a home downtown and it's really the only place right now that is so exciting to live. I see that you went to Common House, a lovely addition to the neighborhood but remember, it's the PEOPLE that make the city.

      Safety can be subjective but personally I have felt safe living here. It also depends where you live, travel to & what time etc. My neighbors and some of my friends are from here and say living here for them has felt safe, especially now.

    • @davetech1269
      @davetech1269 3 місяці тому

      Definitely safer than it was several decades back. It is a metropolitan area and everything that goes with that, including some gang activity at night in the shadier parts. That said, there's a wonderful sense of community here and people are typically very friendly
