Richmond has a mix of Nothern and Southern feel in the City

[@mcblaze1968]

I live here and that is very much true. It's the epidemy of where the North and South meet IMO.

[@Brealfrank25]

There are a lot of northerners that like to move down here. Guess it ain't fun paying $3,000 a month for a studio apartment lol

@@CityWander I can see God willing I'll come out there some day to peek the scene and walk them clean streets my City SF used to be clean it's trash all over the city dirty needles laying all over the place man i wish Frisco was that layback but it's all good shout out to VA Richmond got me thinking about moving now...

[@CityWander]

I haven't been to San Francisco in many years but I've heard from friends that it's gotten pretty bad. Such a shame too because it is an amazing city. 😥

[@kingsafa3565]

@@CityWander yeah that's true once an amazing City don't get me wrong still is an amazing place just needs strong leadership people that are willing to bring this beautiful City back to where it used to be away from the cars break ins drugs abuse and constant shoplifting that has gotten many of my favorite Walgreens and other stores closed...

[@dkd8747]

Alot of nice parts in Richmond laidback lounge spots Jazz spots including the surrounding counties but this camera not taking you to the hoods where the streets get bumpy lol. Its real out there in them streets though used to be the murder Capital of VA. I personally live in the metro area @@kingsafa3565

[@nasirjones-bey7923]

It really is!!

[@ChanceB02]

Richmond has came up A LOT! Gentrification had a lot to do with it but... this my hometown I live about 20 minutes south of the city now in the burbs. Lots of nice restaurants and bars, history. Club scene is ok, not quite like a major city but depends on your style (never really been a club person it’s dead to me). Basically a two hour ride from Va Beach, apple picking in the mountains, Maryland/Washington DC and even NC give or take with traffic... makes good for day trips! I can be your tour guide LOL...but seriously!

[@CityWander]

Thanks for watching Chance! Richmond is a cool city with a lot to offer. Sounds like the Richmond 300 Plan is going to take the city to the next level. Take care! 💙😃

I really enjoy your videos when you tell about the history and have the music background like in the Fredericksburg video love seeing the place but some cool jazz would be great with the walk.

[@CityWander]

Thanks James! I mostly get comments about how people are glad there is no music in it and they appreciate the ambient sounds, but I do get some that would like music. Maybe there is a way to do both. I do enjoy cool jazz though. Thanks for watching!

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

Sadly Richmond's most beautiful street was destroyed during the 2020 riots. Once called "The grandest Ave in the South "

[@CityWander]

...a sad state of affairs. Thank you for checking out the video.

Yep I am assuming you are referring to Monument Avenue ?

im from southside i love my city just be careful in southside , northside , or at night or around certain crowds richmond is a world of its own but it is very grimey and can go down at any minute tbh but in the city part near VCU is safer and chesterfield but richmond in general can get real

@@allikhaur While I don't live in Richmond, I can say that I've never felt unsafe there and always see people walking around. I haven't been down any dark alleys at night, but I try to avoid that anywhere. Every city/town has nicer areas and areas to avoid. Stay safe! 💙

@@CityWander living nearest to the capitol sounds safest, am I correct?

[@nataliep.9047]

Right. "Gorgeous city". Now go do a search for any video with the phrase "Richmond, Virginia Hoods" in the title. Richmond is not called "Stoney's Ghetto" for nothing.

[@stevioclark]

Great footage, but I would like to hear and know what I am seeing. No comments makes a boring video.

[@CityWander]

Hey there. There are two camps with these; some people want music and commentary, and others like the ambient sounds. We try to put interesting facts in there, but I guess that's why it's called slow TV.

[@73beetle19]

Monumentless Avenue has destroyed their beautiful avenue and art work for political reasons and was lawless when outsiders decided to take them down. Be very cautious in the city crime is still high.

[@georgelogan677]

You really have to know where you are going. I was there in August, 1975 and toured. I stopped for lunch. After I had entered the restaurant and sat down, the waitress gave me a coldest stare and the dirtiest look. After a minute or two, she asked me: What ' ll you have?! I said slowly being very scared: a hamburger.. and French fries... and a chocolate milkshake. Then the two men working on the street came in for lunch. One was in his forties and appeared to be the supervisor of the other in his thirties. I saw the older one motion with his thumb to the younger one while I was looking through the large mirrors behind the waitress. Before they sat down, he said: I didn't know that they served n______ in here.

[@CityWander]

Sounds terrible...sorry you had to go through that.

[@avonfettydale9166]

[@CityWander]

Thank you

Stop hating on Richmond it's a very exciting city you are probably from down south im.sure of it .
