Hello!
So in my last blog post, I talked about how I wanted to do more exploring in Richmond this Summer. Seeing how I am from NoVa, I still have a lot to learn in the Richmond area! To live up to this promise, I decided to walk uptown this week. It can also be classified as "the fan" area. I'm a newbie, I know.
Anyways! It was actually a lot of fun and I got to see many things that I never really payed attention to before. First off, I noticed A TON of galleries. Literally there was a gallery every block on Main street, which is understandable considering Richmond is so artsy and all. I didn't really get a chance to go inside of the galleries, but I definitely got to look through the windows which was pretty cool.
Another store that caught my attention was this Vintage shop (not too sure what the name of the store was). I didn't really know what to expect walking in, but to my surprise, it was a very cool store. They had things like typewriters, stools, house phones with the little twirly phone number thing, and a bunch of other stuff. It was cool getting to see that stuff from the olden days.
I also saw some cool murals while walking. One mural was cool looking although it did take a while for me to figure out what was going on with that bear. I was convinced that a bear was about to bite the girl's head off but my boyfriend said it was a mask that she was wearing. I still think there's a bear about to bite her head off.
