Nice little ride on a pretty warm day in the RVA...got out cause next weekend looks a lot worse. Made a stop at Poe's Pub which is on Main Street near Rockett's Landing...near bar with some very interesting people. Richmond will engage you in conversation which is pretty interesting as a rule, I certainly meet some interesting people here as well as many other places. This is a very friendly town. Considering my current marital status is sort of in flux, that may well turn out to be a very wonderful thing indeed. Charlotte and area is not quite so friendly as a rule, lots of New Yorkers there.
Took this at a distance, it is the Soldiers and Sailors Monument (Confederate) at Libby Hill Park. Nice park in the Church Hill neighborhood, and one of my favorite areas. In fact, really enjoy an event here, the "Hogtoberfest" around each October in this very park. Good foods, interesting beer and some really good bands have played there. I always have a great time at that event and plan to this year. Church Hill is really amazing, with some neat old houses (and a friend of mine and his girlfriend rent one), gas lanterns, and some great places to eat and drink. I like to wander that neighborhood, which is full of history and also offers some great views of Richmond. The more time I spend here, the more enchanted I have become with this city. I did not really plan to end up there, but I sure have come to enjoy being here in Richmond. I think as Casablanca (the movie) said, "This is the start of a beautiful friendship". I do which the roads were better, potholes can sure be jolting, but then again, nothing is perfect. At any case enjoyed a wonderful day in the RVA.
