It is the Cracker Barrel of the area. Most people in RVA don’t even consider it part of Richmond because it is so far away.

It’s not that far away. From downtown Richmond, it’s way closer than many parts of Chesterfield.

But I agree: def not a place for a young professional and especially if you’re single. Plus the restaurants are terrible.

It’s far enough that many people that live in Ashland have an hour round trip commute to the city if they’re not immediately on the highway.

If someone claims to be from Ashland and they're not close to the interstate, they're not actually from Ashland. from the town center, downtown Richmond is only like 20-25 minutes normally.
