So I'm not sure if this is the place to post something like this... but I'll give it a go!
I'm single, 28 and currently living in Charlotte... which I'm surprised to find out actually has one of the more speedy subforums around here. Didn't expect Richmond's to be so slow! Anyways, I work for CSX, I'm a Conductor... and right now, deeply furloughed. Been looking around at places I stand for work... but most of them are pretty much in BFE. Manchester, GA... Fitzgerald, GA... Waycross, GA. There's Augusta too but... eww. Anyways, turns out I stand for a good number of turns on the Richmond to Rocky Mount run. I could qualify in just 4 or 5 round trips and be ready to work. Now I have friends from online (WoW... so sue me!) that I could stay with... maybe. Not sure. But I'm still interested in what parts of Richmond I should be looking at in case I need to find my own place later on. I don't like the suburbs... I like urban or non-suburban neighborhoods. Best examples from Charlotte I can give (if you're familiar with them) are Uptown (because Charlotte refuses to call it "downtown" because we're weirdos), South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood... those are the kind of places I like. What would be similar places in Richmond and how are they as far as affordability?
Only ever been to Richmond a couple of times before to see shows at The National.
