Virginia is for Lovers

Call me biased because I was born and raised here, but I am convinced Richmond is one of the best cities ever.  Why do I say that?  There aren't a lot of places that you can have a mid-sized city that feels small town that's only 2 hours away from the beach, 2 hours away from a big city, and less than 2 hours away from the mountains & wineries.  I just love it.

I've noticed Richmond has been getting a lot of press lately.  Our motto is "Virginia is for Lovers" and you can find LOVE signs all over the state, including ones like this downtown:

Richmond was recently named One of Twenty of The Most Romantic Cities in the World:

What's that? #12 you say?

Not only is it a romantic city, the real estate market is also booming:

We can testify for that article...being that we sold our house in 3 weeks!

Top destination you say?

While you weren't looking, Richmond got cool.

Also, you MIGHT of seen or head about this commercial this past year:

Yup, this commercial was created by The Martin Agency, which happens to be smack dab in the middle of downtown Richmond.  It's a huge, very reputable marketing agency and before I knew what exactly I wanted to do I considered applying for a summer internship there.  I received the email with the paper application and after realizing it was about 15 pages long and wanted SUPER creative ideas and answers, I decided this was not the right path for me.

So, as you can see, Richmond and Virginia are wonderful places, and if you haven't visited yet....you should. :)
