      All of the people are at the other parks in the area. This is Brown's Island and is primarily used for outdoor festivals (although runners use it daily. There's a gorgeous, new footbridge that you can cross the entire James River on. Class 3 rapids).

    Thank you for visiting Richmond! Great video! I’ve noticed most tour videos of Richmond only cover Shockoe Bottom, which is where this video was filmed entirely, and a little bit of Oregon Hill towards the end. Just two small neighborhoods amongst about 12 others that are all wildly different from one another in style. The Fan District (more large section of Richmond) is the heart of the city and incredibly beautiful/different from Shockoe Bottom and Oregon Hill. I do not blame you at all though, it’s taken me traveling to different cities myself to learn how hard it is to get a genuine grasp of the place! Thanks again for your high quality video.

    As a young professional living here, I can confirm that Richmond is one of the hidden gems still around in our country when it comes to medium sized cities. The amount of development & capital investment that has happened in the last year is incredible. The secret is getting out and people are just starting to move here in high numbers. We have a ton of breweries, wineries, incredible food scene, & an outdoors orientated community with endless opportunity for recreation. Cost of living is still reasonable & there is so much to do.
    RVA is the perfect blend of large city amenities with a medium city feel & true culture/community. All of the development that is happening reminds me of early days Austin before it blew up. Happy to be here early!

      if you love your city, find out who needs to be told to get Richmond cleaned up. James River was cleared of dirt, new sidewalks and roads were made. I live in Henrico County and I feel terrible discomfort when I come to Richmond. Some kind of pigsty, not a city. Who is in charge of order in the city? Why don't they punish craftsmen who lay tiles on the sidewalk so that it immediately falls apart?

    I miss Richmond's tobacco aroma...it used to permeate everything in the Shockoe Bottom area. I miss the big rifle that used to hang on a 14th St building. I miss the Virginia State Fair off Laburnum Ave. and it's nightly fireworks. I miss the haunted house on the corner of Mechanicsville Turnpike and Harvie Rd. My parents told me when they moved to the eastern side of Henrico County in 1958 the western urban sprawl stopped at Willow Lawn shopping center.. everything past that was out in the country. I wish someone would show the James River high water mark (from Hurricane Camille) inside Main Street Station. IMO that Richmond National Battlefield stamp sucks.
