Richmonopoly

Great news indeed. I just told a friend that my next destination is Nashville, TN. I flew United to Charlotte (destined for Key West) to a full flight a few weeks ago. Though, not very busy, the RIC experience was a pleasure compared to the others. It is very clean and easy to move around.

I swear I've witnessed Richmond a new baseball for yeeeeears before Charlotte, W-S, and Greensboro hatch the idea, develop a plan, construct, and open. They've now been open for years and we are still scratching our heads. We need those leader's ambition.

Manchester amazes me! Great shots!

It's wild to think we could pass Norfolk in the next year or two! Never thought I'd love to see that happen...

Brent! These are gorgeous! Absolutely the most beautiful and promising set of photos I've seen in years!!!!!!

This is our answer to a bus transfer station? Have we not looked at any cities across the country? Or as close as NC's cities?

Also the project I'm most eager to begin....

Rising costs have kept me from dining as frequent as I used to... I imagine this is another cause for others.

I wish the rail companies could give right-of-way to Richmond VA’s Main Street and beyond. We are stuck with two stations. The most populous being like the old Raleigh and Charlotte stations. Meanwhile we have a majestic, under-utilized facility downtown.

Land being cleared along the cap trail/Dock Street.

Free market…

This makes me giddy with excitement.

I’m looking forward to the towers along the canal to get moving quickly. That area could use the increased activity. (Carmax looks to have vacated its canal property so there is room for new retail/dining there too). I’d like to hear plans pushed for the Bridgepark and the Mayo Bridge renovations. Hopefully this quarter be bring about some infill and retail in Shockoe. I feel that the area lost some momentum over the last two years and I’m ready for a rebound! Will Lego announce a relocation of its’ headquarters from Connecticut?! Finally, I’d like to see that Glass and steel 20+ apartment tower advance on W. Broad.

Above is the Manchester skyline, apartments at 7th Street and Decatur, apartments on 7th and I think Bainbridge, and across the street new townhomes breaking ground. Also, the huge hole in the ground receiving foundation is at 7th and Hull. It’s amazing what’s happening in Manchester!

Could we be getting a new Lego HQ? According to this article, we shouldn’t be holding our breaths. https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news/new-lego-factory-chesterfield-virginia-enfield-connecticut-headquarters
