Re my observations about Richmond, VA, in the June 9 issue… 

“Richmond is one of our favorite cities! Things we love about it are the people, the river, the wonderful world-class art museum (of course), central location (between DC, the mountains, and the beach), four seasons (but a mild winter), the natural beauty, and that it’s just big enough to have real city stuff, but not so big that it has big city congestion and other problems.” – DD

“I am a 3rd generation Richmonder and lived there for many years…. I have always found race relations to be cordial for the most part, barring the occasional Radical from out of town stopping by to stir things up. As for the ‘Southern Hospitality’ you experienced, I think you will find it throughout the South. I always do. But then again, I am a native of Richmond and may be carrying it around with me!

“I’m so glad you enjoyed your trip to Richmond! Y’all come back now, ya hear!” – KM
