I'm not form that area, but my boyfriend's parents live in RIchmond, so I have been a bunch of times.
I love the parks. My boyfriend has taken me to a few, and we went to a wedding at the Botanical Garden one.. and they are absolutely beautiful!
Also, I have yet to meet an unfriendly person in Richmond.. every time I have gone people.. even random people on stores will smile and say hello. Its rare to see that in my part of New England.
Plus, I love Kings Dominion which is near by
