Also near VCC. I drive into the city for all my “night life” stuff pretty much. Center of the universe is nice to have out here but I’d rather drive to Richmond than Ashland

Me too. My work, social and spirit center is in the city. The drive isn't bad as long as I moderate alcohol intake. It stinks having friends and dates mainly in Midlo and WE/SP though, but that distance would be an issue anywhere in the burbs.

I find short pump isn’t terrible but the midlo drive is horrible to make more than once a week.

It really is! 30-40min, esp. when you are just picking someone to drive to the city for a date takes up a good chunk of the evening. At least I work in the city and have dated women who offer to come up my way too. Gotta make it work!
