richmond is a ghet version of raleigh

1/9/2006 9:09:14 PM

i had the displeasure of living there in 2005 from april through september because of work and luckily found my way back to raleigh. it is beyond ghetto, the entire city is run down. it didn't help that the townhouse complex i lived in was rundown and i turned out to be token. plus i was working for the Braves there and The Diamond on the Blvd is not a good location either.

1/9/2006 11:19:39 PM

I just moved to Richmond, that's why I was wondering. Don't know many people my age here, and was wondering what the good places to go for mid 20s were.

1/10/2006 12:53:44 PM

i haven't been back since the floods in like 2003 or 2004

but the bottom and cary street were always fun places

but like i said

i don't know how bad the floods fucked over the bottom

I grew up right outside Richmond (Midlothian). And while it might be ghetto in parts there is plenty to do for 20 somethings. Shockoe Bottom has a bunch of places to eat and bars. The Capital Ale house
(downtown and in Innsbrook) reminds me of the Flying Saucer here in Raleigh. There are cultural events, sporting events etc. Check out the Richmond Magazine for a good list of everything.

cary street has lots of little bars and places to hang out, bottom's up pizza (in the bottom obviously) just opened back up over the summer i think (they had been closed since the floods). most college and 20-somethings seem to go to three monkeys and the bars in the fan on the weekends...capital ale house is similar to flying saucer if you are looking for a variety of beers (but it is more of a restaurant than a bar, that's where a lot of the younger professionals go- the one on 7th and Main, i don't know about the one out in short pump) for shopping and stuff the most popular place right now is short pump...that's what i know from the 5 months i've been up here, but i can't wait to move back to raleigh

yes the only good thing about richmond was the west end/short pump area. if you're there during the summer then the concerts out at Innsbrook are always good ones. me and my coworkers always had fun at Sharkeys on wednesday nights...that was the only night it was packed. an older crowd and their live band, The Wrest, played a lot of oldies/classic rock/lil country/80's and were pretty awesome.

CH ---where'd u go to highschool? i went to clover hill.

1/10/2006 8:37:31 PM

Same. C/O 2000!

1/10/2006 9:06:38 PM

I just got a call from area code 804 on my cell phone.

1/10/2006 11:17:05 PM

damn, richmond abounds with female tww'ers

1/11/2006 12:05:41 AM

i was born there and my family just moved back last year. i really cant say that its my favorite place and i definitely prefer raleigh. the short pump area / west end is about as un ghetto as you are going to get anywhere

They need another computer giveaway, which would lead to riots again.
