Hello Lauren, we just discovered your channel for the first time by accident. What a joy. We are relative newbies to Richmond, Originally, from the Boston, Ma area where we lived for 35 plus years. We have been here for about 3 years . Bought a home and moved in during the pandemic. It was a golden opportunity for my wife and I to move since she could work remotely and I was semi-retired. You say why Virginia ? 1. Very affordable. 2. My wife's family live in the DC area close by. DC is unaffordable. 3. A underrated culture scene. So when we saw you, what a joy to discover some of the things you've done in a short period time. You've managed to connect with a wonderful community. Right now we are binge watching your wonderful videos. We want to explore more of Virginia as I hope you will. You captured it's essence very well on video. Thank You for the pleasant surprise. All the best. 😍😍 from Jim and Harriet Richmond, Va.

@@costasworldofmusicmemories5792 so nice to meet you Jim and Harriett! I am glad you are here! I’m excited for more Virginia adventures too ☺️

You and your partner moved to Richmond at the right time. Being a Richmond native, Richmond used to be quite boring. Thank you for giving me ideas when l get back home this summer to visit. Your energy is great and yes, you are a great editor of your vids. Very professional! Thanks for talking about vegan options as well. Sending both of you good vibes from Madrid.

[@LaurenZRay]

Thank you so much! It is an amazing time to be here. Next vlog is all about the summer activities here! Can’t wait! 😍

[@TeacherTrainerMadrid]

​@@LaurenZRayLooking forward to that. I know it will be another quality video.

[@sshapiro63]

Welcome to Richmond. I have lived in the area (Midlothian) for over 10 years. It's an interesting place. I practice street photography throughout Richmond and have met some great people.

[@LaurenZRay]

I bet you’ve gotten some amazing shots 😍. Such beautiful architecture here!

[@LaurenZRay]

Anything I must do in Midlo?

[@sshapiro63]

@@LaurenZRay There are some good restaurants in Midlothian: Wong's Tacos, O'Toole's, and 1870. Also, don't miss hiking at places like Pony Pasture, Robius Landing, and Larus Park.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@sshapiro63 these are great tips!!

[@TheRichVO]

oooh yes love stuff like that art stroll,

[@LaurenZRay]

The art stroll is just pure vibessss 😍✨

[@shaunward3711]

Crazy hearing a live musician singing “Country Roads” as I’m watching this video while living in WV, doing research as my wife and I are planning to move to Richmond lol

[@LaurenZRay]

Haha. It’s the full circle you needed!!

[@alana5123]

Love your videos! I’ll be moving there in the spring and I’m super excited! Would you be able to show some cool dog friendly spots around Richmond?

[@LaurenZRay]

@@alana5123 that’s a great idea! My sister is visiting with her dogs, maybe that’s a great time to do it!

[@alana5123]

@@LaurenZRay awesome! ☺️👏

[@musicbyLUKAS]

The events here are the best. Also, your editing in this video is one of your best yet Lauren. 🥰

[@LaurenZRay]

You’re the best! Haha. Thanks 😝

[@erincafferty5388]

You have to cover the watermelon festival that’s upcoming in August! This year will be my first time going and I hear it’s insane

[@LaurenZRay]

@@erincafferty5388 can’t wait!! I’m totally going! 😍🍉

[@johntr76]

Thank you for the non-pda... so class.

[@Enforcer1963]

You'll have to do a video on the Easter Parade.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@Enforcer1963 I did film some of this years - just didn’t make a video with it yet. Love the uniqueness of the event!

[@roberthall6161]

I worked the ballpark as a young man.

[@bowlingorama1]

I wanted to thank you for your focus on Richmond. Personally, living here for over 25 years, I feel it is a true gem. One question, have you been to Hotel Greene for highfalutin' mini-golf? It's a really unique experience.

[@LaurenZRay]

Omg I love that place!! Went for Xmas and recently with my parents. Another perfectly unique activity in Richmond! I need to put it in a vlog one day for sure. 😍 also, thank you for the kind words!!💚

[@dugferd2266]

The Ivy had a good first season. Unfortunately in this game the opponent didn't have enough players for a complete team (I think they were a new club in the league as well) so it was easy pickings, but some of the goals were hard-fought and looked good.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@dugferd2266 very true!

[@jukappa]

Didn’t see the pedestrian bridge in the description. But I’m guessing this is the T Tyler potter field memorial bridge?

[@LaurenZRay]

@@jukappa yes that’s correct! I’ve added it now. Thanks for letting me know ☺️

[@jukappa]

@@LaurenZRayThanks for confirming! Added this to our list to check out!

[@LaurenZRay]

@@jukappa you’ll love the views for sure!! 😍💚

My wife and I are planning on moving to Richmond. I used to live in VA and truly miss it. I love your channel

[@LaurenZRay]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really love Virginia. 💚

[@aaronholmes7708]

PLZ DO MORE! I'm in Northern VA and one of these days, my wife and I will make the move!

[@LaurenZRay]

Working on another video right now about things to do in the summer here 😍.
