Like the previous post, more photos from Sunday, though these while walking around Shockoe Bottom. Certainly many interesting things to be around there. I did get a real kick out of the sign at left, for the really paranoid sure to be something you do not want to see. This sign is located near the farmers market. Fun place to explore and always see interesting things in that area. It was a real busy day there today. Made a short visit to Buffalo Wild Wings; had a large motorcycle group there (not a gang or anything just a bunch of riders) and I enjoyed that a great deal. As I have noted, though the bike is far away right now, fun to be around motorcycles and motorcyclists.
As for this building, saw a plaque on the side of the white building in this photo, which stated that it was the "oldest commercial building in Richmond" dating to 1817. As it noted, when it was built James Monroe was President. Had a long history over the years, and is now a restaurant (and by the look of it, draws a good crowd). Some great old buildings in that area, and also really enjoy the cobblestone streets to be found in certain places in the area. It is fun to be in a place with history, as I have noted before the fact that the Pre-Revolutionary church (St. John's) is still standing after all these years is remarkable, especially considering that it has been so long, and the church is made out of wood!
