r/RichmondVA

I just got back from a visit to Richmond over Fourth of July weekend because we are thinking about moving there next year. We are from Austin and were surprised at how little people there seemed to be. Are we just used to the overpopulation of Austin and this is pretty normal? Me and my partner both expected there to be a bit more people out for the weekend. (Yes I know it was hot and that could also have been a factor.)

Has kings dominion and the water park really gotten nasty? I read some pretty disturbing reviews online.

The Richmond Flying Squirrels/CarMax park were a huge disappointment tonight for their fireworks show. Paying extra for field access which granted you a few bounce houses and a spot to sit on the lawn. the ticketing system is a 10 step process where you have to download an app, sign up, follow them, then maybe you can access your tickets. The bands were a joke. The atrocious cover band Grateful Shred, with their 70 year old lead singer who should honestly give his horse vocal chords a rest, decided to give a politically motivated “shout out” at the end of their set cursing in-front of a whole crowd of children. which led to several patrons flipping the middle finger. Fantastic children’s experience. Fireworks were meh. Do better.

Where is the best place to park to watch fireworks?

Going to be traveling to Richmond in about 2 weeks was wondering what courses are worth it right now. I was going to go back to new Kent because it was easily my favorite round down there last time, however I’ve seen that the conditions are absolutely horrible right now. What other courses in the area have good conditions and are just fun courses to play in general. Looking for a less than $300 round but possibly willing to go a little more if the course is just perfect.

I built a free game where you walk to real historic places and collect them. Richmond is dense with listed spots, but a database doesn't know which ones people actually care about.

Your recommendations would get featured on the map — so, what's genuinely worth seeing? What gets hyped but shouldn't be?

Hello Everyone! I hope all is well and people are looking forward to the Fourth of July Holiday weekend AND the USA's 250th anniversary! Don't forget the USA plays tonight in the World Cup at 8 P.M. and tournament darling Cape Verde plays on Friday at 3 P.M. I missed a May AMA altogether and I'm just sliding in under the wire for a June AMA. So hit me up with all of your real estate questions!

Hi everyone,

29M (Straight) here been in Richmond since August. Where are some good spots for finding a date or meeting friends?

Haven’t been on a date in a few years and would like to try and put myself out there. 😅

My wife and I are in our late 50s, retired and considering a move to Richmond and the Church Hill neighborhood seems like it checks a lot of our boxes

For those of you who live in Church Hill, how do you feel about the area overall? I've read that there are issues with crime - Are there particular blocks or sections people generally try to avoid, especially for someone new to Richmond?

Hello. A relative of mine is looking for a good attorney that does general practices and does civil litigation, family law, and criminal. Please let me know if there’s any ones that can be recommended. She’d like a no nonsense one.

I’m early 50’s, divorced, moving to Richmond. Looking for somewhere relatively safe, some green spaces to walk my dog, and maybe some folks around my age.

Their website doesn’t seem to be working and they haven’t posted on social in a while. I hope they’re still around! They were such a good resource.

Update: I emailed them and they said, "unfortunately we are going to have to remain closed for a little while. I would suggest you rent from our friends up at Kul Wheels or Riverside Cycling".
