Richmond VA USA 1996

[@49LivingtheDream]

I remember these places: Twisters, Exile. I was in Richmond from 1981 to 1986, and again from 1986 to 1994. I left for Minneapolis in 94. After seeing this video, I guess it was a good move out of Richmond then. I know that VCU has altered the landscape very much. I returned for a visit in 2001, and it wasn't much different then from the 90s. I'm due for an updated visit.

[@ooosoo8727]

I would cruise there weekends. I miss Twisters; saw the Misfits there. Went to VCU there too. Awesome place. So many memories..up on the roof....

[@caeaves]

Good times. Such freedom to skate around all over. Seeing multiple shows a weekend. Never once running into trouble despite skating at all hours of the night.

[@hartgreen]

That was my last roommate in Richmond at 1:48. That's hilarious. I saw some of the best shows of my life at twisters. Wow this takes me back... oh wow he has a 200 meg drive at 2:01 LOL.

[@SuzyQ1956]

Gosh what great times in RVA, spent so much time in the bottom. Farmers Market Inn, Moondance, Floodzone, Alley Katz now I’d be afraid to roam those streets like I did all during the 90’s. Many good times and memories.

My world from 94 to 97 when I lived on Grace. I can smell the Metro club and Twisters stank

[@gigyoung7181]

93-97 at Grace and Lombard. good times, simpler times, slower times, cheaper times and healthier times. VCU sure came into its own.

[@Ray-b6g8x]

I drove from Hampton every weekend. Saw Throwing Muses, Cowboy Junkies, Fetchin Bones, Luka Bloom, so many great bands upstairs at Metro.

[@justineaves1977]

@@Ray-b6g8x I also caught throwing muses 👊

[@Ray-b6g8x]

It was so great because the room was so small and the band was right there in front of you. Shortly after I also saw Throwing Muses at Peabody's in VA Beach. Leslie was still with them. ​@@justineaves1977

25 fucking years ago - good and cheap to live The Fan back in the day. Didn't think Monument Avenue would be gone so soon.

[@phillipalvarez7221]

I remember somebody told me that back in the 90s, he had an apartment that was $400/month in The Fan. Crazy!

[@alphaprobe20]

I had one that was $315 a month back then.

Ahhhhh good ole twisters. A literal hole in the wall. I mean really you could sneak in through the giant hole in the men's bathroom leading to the alley from at least 2k-02. I wish vcu would just leave they have ruined the future of 929 west grace st. The location is supposed to be a music venue.
