Learning To Build A Terrarium at Strangeways
I’m not trying to brag, but I was one of the lucky ticket holders to the SOLD OUT terrarium workshop held at Strangeways Brewing. What’s the big deal, you ask? Well for one, terrariums are awesome and for two, craft beer is awesome. Combining those two variables creates the recipe for a fun and creative evening. As much as I like gardening and greenery my occasionally oblivious and laid back nature has caused the...
Touring The VA Capitol Building – For FREE
When I showed up to tour the VA Capitol building the woman at the front desk asked were I was visiting from. I had to embarrassingly admit that I’d been a Richmond resident for quite a few years and was just now getting around the touring the Capitol. Playing tourist in the city one lives in is a highly underrated activity. I frequently travel outside of the US and will wander city streets aimlessly gawking at things locals take...
Storytelling in Richmond with Secretly Y’All
Storytelling is alive and well here in RVA and I’m happy to say it’s just as entertaining as it was when I was a kid. The themes may be a bit more adult and instead of warm milk you can have delicious cocktails – but at its core the principle is the same: someone spins a tale and your imagination does the rest, and perhaps you connect on a personal level. When I found out about Secretly Y’All – the group...
The Valentine – Richmond’s Local History Museum
The Valentine museum is like many things in Richmond for me, it’s a place I’d heard of, though I didn’t know its precise location and I knew at some point I should get around to checking it out. A gray overcast sky postponed my plan to visit Richmond’s Capitol Building, so I took this opportunity to head to the Valentine Museum to soak up some Richmond History. Located just near 10th and...
Bingo In Richmond – Get In On The Fun!
Bingo in Richmond is a thing, did you not know that!? Fair enough, I didn’t know we had a killer Bingo scene either. If you’ve driven past the intersection of Broad and Boulevard in the city there sits a large white building in a state of semi disrepair. In ten years of driving past I’ve never seen a soul venture in or out. When I finally bothered taking a closer look I realized there’s been a GIANT Bingo hall...
Groovin Gears’ Richmond Brewery Crawl
Hands down the best way to visit Richmond’s many breweries is by having someone else drive. Parking at times can be a pain as is wondering how many beers you can responsibly drink – and for the vain among us is the worry of how many calories we’re consuming. Then there is the hassle of trying to wrangle a group of your friends into meeting at the same place at the same time. All of the above are...
