That said, why the fuck would you want to go to DC when Tidewater, C'ville, the OBX and the Blueridge Mountains are all much more interesting places to travel?

Great town for food, eclectic eats and the cost of living is not too bad.

Plus, I think it is the only major city in America with white water rapids running through the center of town.

But there are a few rough areas. Be careful of those.

 

Another vote for Richmond as an awesome town - lovely food and attractions, plus the arts community is really thriving. Visit from Hampton Roads all the time.

 

I think it's in Hanover. Not positive.

 

And that's about the only thing in Hanover. Except for Ashland, The Center of the Universe. That town must have cell phone jammers installed on every block, becuase I've never gotten signal there.

 

Get a better cell phone (Verizon). About 98,000 people live in Hanover. It's the burbs, but it is not the sticks.

 

RICHMOND METRO FIGHT!

 

I've had three cell phone carriers in my various stays in the Richmond Metro. They all go south in Ashland. And realistically, Hanover is probably 3/5ths sticks, particularly north and west of Ashland and north and east of Mechanicsville, 1/4th suburb, and the rest is Ashland.

 

Hey, two weeklies and the TD are options in Hanover.

Once you drive three miles north of 295, it is country, but it's not like it's totally hayfields.

 

HIT HIM IN THE FACE! SHOW HIM HOW MECHANICSVILLE ROLLS! WHAT!

 

No don't, I'm allergic to tomatoes and Confederate battle flags! And Randolph-Macon students. But who isn't?

 

I always thought Lee-Davis should have called their girls teams the Confederettes.
