Downtown is large for a city of Richmond's size, but pretty 9-5.
The inner city neighborhoods are of the typical mid-Atlantic rowhouse sort.
The quality of the residential architecture in the inner city is quite good.
Suburbs are awful havens of conservatism and sprawl.
Not as industrial as bigger or more northern cities, but more industrial than most southern cities. A little more industrial than white-collar Washington.
A little bit melancholy. Richmond was supposed to be the great city of Virginia, but has been passed over by greaters DC and Norfolk.
