Life and Times: RVA- love my city

When people say there's nothing to do in Richmond my thought is they must never leave their house. I'm not on the party scene anymore which opens up a variety of new events to keep the party in my life.  That's why I am glad that I live in such a diverse city. I know that there are some that will disagree. It is so easy to get caught up in the trends. This can get you stuck in your bubble and cause you to never leave your side of town. Knowing these things keep me a tourist in my own city. Always willing to venture out and try new things in new areas. Most recently I went to a open mic night at Addis Ethiopian Restaurant on 17th street. It was a great experience. Wow, Richmond where have you been hiding this.....

It doesn't surprise me that there are so many talented people in richmond. This makes me look forward to venturing out more and finding other hidden gems.
