Billy-
Sorry to get so defensive. It just happens sometimes!
I agree, Richmond sucks. It is very nice during the day--nice restaurants, a few good museums (the science museum needs UPDATING!!!), and Maymont is just to die for.
When it comes to nightlife, forget it. I'm not into jazz, I'm not "artsy" at all. That sounds like fun if you're interested in it. I couldn't believe when I first went into the city at night that everything closed early. I'm used to NYC where the city never sleeps. It seems like all Richmond does is sleep! haha... That's okay though....I'm not a night owl.
I'm actually back in NY now. But I'm going to UR in a few weeks to visit. So maybe we'll check it out....
The one place I love is Have a Nice Day Cafe.....what a blast...
Totally off the topic of the post so I'll stop now!!!
