Why I live where I live

[JimBob1952]

Wrote a blog about this recently. Have been living in Richmond VA for ten years and think it's great. There are some downsides (hot, muggy summers; not enough indie films; "Italian" restaurants owned by Greeks) but many more upsides.

I clicked on it and thought for the first paragraph you were talking about Richmond London... I'll read the rest later when I get a bit more time...

I agree that Richmond Virginia is a great place to live.

I especially love all the statuary.

I had close relative that lived on Monument Avenue for many years. Loved to visit.

Well, the statues are a bit controversial these days...

Oh, what isn't controversial these days?

Pretty city ... haven't been there in ages though

George Washington is not controversial in Richmond.

Jeb Stuart, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, on the other hand, are.

However Monument Avenue remains one of the prettiest places of its type.

Richmond is lovely, I think.

Dallas, eight years of Detroit's ice and snow were more than enough and what the
recession and gas shortage did to the auto industry

I had six years in the Detroit area and that was five years and eleven months too much......

My first requirement is that I must be able to look out the window and see palm trees. I have done this since 1972.

I married my second husband in Richmond, we were on a trip together so I guess you can say we eloped. Later my step daughter moved to Midlothian and opened a business in Richmond. I've been there a couple of times but didn't get to see much of it.
