I have come to appreciate Richmond's urban fabric and every thread on that city deserves at least a visit. Good job

That canal looks great. I didn't know about it. Richmond has so many beautiful buildings and an interesting layout.

Burt · August 8th, 2005, 08:36 PM

There are no shots of Shockoe Bottom among these fotos. Several of the new development along Haxall Canal; one of Broad Street with the old Central National Bank tower in background; a view of Kanawa Plaza and its fountain near the Federal Building and the Financial district, and a shot of the old LadyByrd building being converted to a night club on the canal at the edge of Shockoe SLIP, but truly, nothing of the Bottom.

Pardon me; I'm not as familar with the city as I would like to be...sorry about that.

You're overdue for a return visit, JRQ!

JRQ · August 8th, 2005, 09:02 PM

I'll hopefully be living on the VCU Campus, or near it, in the future. I'll probably be taking a weekend visit sometime to check it out.

Burt · August 8th, 2005, 09:06 PM

JRQ, check out the Richmond threads on UrbanPlanet. It's a pretty up-beat site.
