Short Pump

Interesting day to say the least. Got out for a while today, and did a fine bit of exploring on a hot and humid Richmond, Virginia day. Actually this was the last stop on my journey today, the Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, Va out on West Broad Street. I sort of came across this massive (and I do mean MASSIVE) mall during my explorations. It was quite the shopping center two levels, and I don't know how many stores. I am not a big mall freak, but I do know that I have going to have to have a walk with Patty around here when she gets back to Richmond. Plus, the mall has a Harley-Davidson store, so think there is something for everyone here.
What I went to West Broad Street to see was Quaker Steak and Lube. It opened here "not long ago", I actually found out about it while at Bike Night at the Quaker Steak and Lube in Concord, NC (have a few photos from that in a previous post). Bike Night there (on Wednesday nights) is a massive thing with something like 900 bikes being typical. They also have Bike Night here on the same day. Not sure when I will be going (bike in is NC, plus I work nights) but if Concord is any indication, Richmond might want to check out Wednesday nights here. I am told it is growing quickly and drawing quite the crowd. Know I have spent some fun nights in Concord there.

Not sure what it is that draws motorcycles to Quaker Steak and Lube. Course they do have a motorcycle themed bar, a nice range of hot wings, and good "beverage" specials on Bike Night. There tends to be a lot to see and do. This one in Richmond is on a smaller piece of land, so would be interesting to see what they can do with it. In Concord they have a lot of parking plus a number of bike themed booths along with a band at the events there. One thing I do know, like taking photos of my Nissan Versa with a group of Suzuki's in front.
Today was my first time in South Pump, told there was not much there of note. I tend to think after a short visit there, that I was told wrong.
