Cool photos! But I wish they had culled the many, many duplicates.
I’m of the firm belief that the city should’ve never given up the classy old City Hall and built that modernist monstrosity across the street.
As are most people, but it probably comes down to whomst has the money. There’s a reason most buildings end up bleh looking while many churches go extravagant out the ass.
I didn’t realize we had a volcano go off in the city 😀

It didn’t it, the volcano and the house pictured are both on the island of st Vincent in the Caribbean. Richmond Great house. No idea what purpose it served or why it was built.
Its crazy how much cars and highways can ruin the beauty of places.
Trade-offs with everything, unfortunately.
Would you rather have a beautiful carless city or one that gets tax and toll money?
The first one. And let’s have light rail/subway instead.
It was a mostly rhetorical question. How is the city gonna get beautiful without a real tax base? Our state’s independent cities means Richmond’s on its own. It relies on people coming in from the surrounding areas. It never would’ve gotten built up into its current size without that money.
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing
