So you lived in Richmond, Gene? It is vastly different now. I don't even like it anymore and I was born and raised here! HA! History is pretty much too "swept under the rug" for my tastes - it's now all about jazz festivals, plays, food festivals, etc. Trying too hard to expound on what it doesn't have while attempting to ignore what it DOES have. I live out in the country and stay away for the most part!
