Made the move to Richmond this weekend. Used a big Budget Truck Rental 15 foot truck (very pleased with them by the way) and drove my stuff to the apartment. An older apartment (complex dates to the 1970's) but very nice inside. Patty and myself got me all moved in and set up. Nice place, quiet and well lit, neighbors friendly (one told me no problems living there in 10 years) and police patrolled (in fact we asked a cop directions to the local Food Lion which we found).On Sunday morning did some exploring on both ends of the Midlothian Turnpike. Going toward the Village of Midlothian we found just about anything a person would need. As a motorcyclist two nice bike shops virtually within walking distance of the apartment, and down the road many places to eat, shop, and check out. One I will check for sure is the Chesterfield Town Center, the entrance of which I have posted here. Nice big mall with a whole lot of stores. It did not open till noon, so we did not get to explore the inside, but did explore the outside. Will be a great deal of things to check out over the next few years there.
It was a great trip and all went well; especially glad the weather cooperated with us. Sunny and warm this weekend made for a smooth drive there and back. Did note a lot of police on the roads, be advised they are serious about speeding, though this does not stop many from speeding (and saw quite a few getting to chat with police officers at the side of the roads with blue lights flashing).
On Sunday February 15, the move will be for real. That is when the adventure will really start!
