Copy Editor, Richmond Times-Dispatch

So this position would report to Steve Trosky?

 

Richmond's a great great town. Great restaurants, museums, art/music scene, decent climate, easy drive to D.C. and the beaches. Hard to argue against it.

 

Anyone who has ever sat on I-95 for any stretch of time, especially between Springfield and Richmond, would disagree with this statement.

Definitely is an easy drive to Raleigh, though.

 

In fairness, it's not Richmond's fault that D.C. completely screws up all traffic within a 50-mile radius. It's actually easier to get to D.C. from Richmond than just about any of the other surrounding areas of similar distance.

 

It's convenient to DC, let's put it that way. I basically live next to the train station, so that's a viable option. Even with traffic, though, it might be a quicker drive to DC than Raleigh. If you can get on the HOV lanes or at the very least avoid drama in PW County, you're in good shape.

 

DC to Richmond and Richmond to DC is an easy run, IF TIMED PROPERLY.

 

I will be making that run in October. When is the proper time?

In four years of driving the 270/Beltway to and from school, it was always under construction. And the sprawl pretty much started just south of Rockwell and stopped in Springfield/Franconia.

 

For me, it's kind of simple - don't go north on 95 between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. don't go south between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. If I do, I go up Route 1. Yeah I get in jams sometimes, but the rule generally works.

 

Moddy is correct. The Consolidated Editing Center is under separate leadership. And it's a good 10 miles away from the Times-Dispatch.

 

Which means no walking out the back door to go to Louisiana Flair for one of Nate's Po' Boys or some beignets. Their loss.

 

Out in Atlee?
