Hey Lauren, Great video! My dude and I just finished 9 months of digital nomading and we’re exhausted! Can’t believe you did that for 5 years. Now we’re looking for where to move in the US and your Richmond videos are super helpful ❤

so this is the person who is responsible for pushing us out of our neighborhoods

If you have allergies, this is 💯 NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. The WORST pollen seasons you can imagine.

Any consignment shops

Whats salt content im diabetic and have hugh blood pressure

Super job on the video. More just like it are guaranteed to be fun to watch.

Buy a bug zapper,lol.

Cockroaches, although smaller than Bronx ones , amass from stuart circle, d town, to South Richmond VA, and the rats are the same size as the ones in Tehran, i caught one in my moms home in Manchester the size of a cat..asst. predators , pollution, and the bonus Pee in the Alleys from Grace st to the bottom......and oregano hill maybe a Jeremy Renner might be fine in a bomb suit there because he could afford the stench off riverside

Great filmmaking. Really great to learn about this city that I’ve heard of a lot (had friends here at one point) but never visited. Looking forward to seeing more of what you do here now that I am subbed! 👍

My wife and I are planning on moving to Richmond. I used to live in VA and truly miss it. I love your channel

Is Bandito's still around? I used to go there all the time when I went to the SHPO's office on Monument Ave

nice content it helps me to be more familiar with my bf's hometown

Grew up there. Moved away 28 years ago. All of my family are still there, so I’m there for frequent visits. Awesome city. Here’s hoping Richmond remains an underrated hidden gem. Nashville (where I currently live) used to be an underrated gem. Now it’s a hillbilly nightmare with a carnival atmosphere and aspirations to be the next LA, NY or Hotlanta.

Welcome to Richmond. I have lived in the area (Midlothian) for over 10 years. It's an interesting place. I practice street photography throughout Richmond and have met some great people.

It cost me $20 in tolls to go from VA to NJ.

PLZ DO MORE! I'm in Northern VA and one of these days, my wife and I will make the move!

I'm not going to Virginia Beach.

My son's birthday is in December and we usually go for Grand Illumination. You have to book dinner super early for that time, if you want eat in a tavern. It's one of our favorite things to do.

Hey im going to colonial Williamsburg to take in all the history and try to experience what life was like in colonial VA BTW im having lunch at mellow mushroom 😂

I used to live in three pines subdivision on the southside of Virginia😅 I loved it there I went to a high school called Monican it was great

I wanted to thank you for your focus on Richmond. Personally, living here for over 25 years, I feel it is a true gem. One question, have you been to Hotel Greene for highfalutin' mini-golf? It's a really unique experience.

oooh yes love stuff like that art stroll,

You and your partner moved to Richmond at the right time. Being a Richmond native, Richmond used to be quite boring. Thank you for giving me ideas when l get back home this summer to visit. Your energy is great and yes, you are a great editor of your vids. Very professional! Thanks for talking about vegan options as well. Sending both of you good vibes from Madrid.

The events here are the best. Also, your editing in this video is one of your best yet Lauren. 🥰

Which event would you go to? 😍👇

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is very inspiring. I am currently part-time teaching in Madrid and l love it. No more full-time work for me. I enjoy having time for myself to do what l want in life. Keep up the great work and your vids rock! Looking forward to the next one.

just came across this video looking up richmond but i just wanted to say the way that you film and edit your videos is amazing, very much like a TV show

RVA has become a very good city in comparison with the conservative, racist and crime-ridden town it once was. I would have moved there for reasons other than the ones you mention (e.g. VFMA, UofR, Maudlin Center), but the real estate prices in desirable city neighborhoods have gotten out of reach. The best thing about Richmond? It’s only an hour away from Charlottesville.

@LaurenZRay Jesus loves you both

you handled the conversations about confederate idolization history very well.

Now that I know Im moving up there, I'm watching your videos multiple times, lol.

I'm almost sold, but I am a dog lover - tell me there are many dogs and many many dog parks and I will flip for Richmond.

Great video! As a frequent visitor to RVA, and also vegan, I'd say my favorites (that are not on this list) are Sen Organic and Cobra Cabana.

Midlothian is an option. Low crime easy drive to Richmond.

So happy for you! ❤❤

Welcome Home ! I showed some life long NYC friends RVA and they were very impressed. I wish they could of seen the monuments before they were all torn down. I found a neighborhood across the river that I really like.....but alas...I found it too late. Have a great summer!

Highland County is super underrated part of VA to visit. Really beautiful and has a unique vibe from other areas in the state.

As a New Zealander living in Richmond I’m so glad you visited proper pies! Meat pies are a staple food in NZ! Btw kumara is not the same as sweet potato!!

Thank you for this! We did almost all the same things you did, including the pizza, except we did not have time for the museum. We must come back. We also ran out of time to stop in Richmond. We had wanted to try Ipanema on Grace St.

I have a doggie day care business. Do lots of people own dogs???

You can be Vegan in Richmond ?? Good Vegan Restaurants??

This is a huge gem. :’)

My 2 favorite places are Chesterfield, Virginia and Chocowinity, NC

def feelin the goth prom and tea spot 🖤🖤

Nice video, as always. I will be checking out the Carytown Food Tour this summer when l get back home this summer. Richmond is a great place to live.

Yep, the history sucks. F the street names, the bridge names, the statues. Otherwise pretty cool city. I’m from Los Angeles.

You should do one on the Pop up Markets on Saturdays at the Diamond and in the Fan the Farmer's Market and in Shockoe Bottoms. Please do.

You might run in to me down in Carytown lol. I love Richmond too.

I’m so sad I missed the maymont event!! But lots of fun things happening in RVA ❤
