I've lived in the Richmond area for my whole life, but I'm now experiencing it on a different level- the Grown-Up Richmond. I'm a freshman at VCU, and I'm living on my own for the first time. There's a lot I already knew about Richmond- you can't live somewhere for eighteen years and not find out something about it. But there's also a lot that's changing, a lot that I'm just now discovering.
It is my experience that freshman at VCU don't know what the hell they're doing. They walk out into the middle of the street in front of moving cars. They go to whatever clubs are advertised on Q94 and they eat only at the restaurants directly on campus.
I am at a great advantage, as far as exploring the city goes, for two reasons: 1) I already know a lot of what Richmond has to offer, and 2) I have a car. So I feel like it's only fair that I pass on my discoveries to the less fortunate, those who live in dorms and eat at Shafer everyday and walk everywhere. Richmond is supposedly becoming the new hip city of the South, and I want to make sure other people know some of its secrets. Here is where I'll chronicle my adventures and discoveries in the river city. Please stay tuned.
