RICHMOND, VA
Jewel of the Commonwealth

Site under construction!

Richmond, VA, seated at the fall line of the James River, has become Hugh and Frances' adopted home.  Sara was born here, as was Hugh (back in the Stone Ages!).  However, we have only lived here since 1998.  We have, though, known the area for much longer.  We visited for the nightlife, restaurants and historical sights for several years while living in the Washington, DC suburbs, and were married in a beautiful church here before we even dreamed we would soon be moving to the area.

Hugh fell in love with the city during a lengthy work assignment back in the 80's, and convinced Frances that the area was much more genteel than the rat-race of Northern Virginia where we lived for many, many years (Frances is a native of Arlington and Hugh lived in Fairfax for most of his adult life.)  We love the area and are proud that Sara will be brought up here.

Hugh has compiled a collection of links, below, that should give the reader a good comprehensive view of Richmond life.  We hope you enjoy the information and find it useful.  Come to visit, or come to live with approximately a MILLION other happy people who call the Richmond Metropolitan Area home!
