I came from Florida to RVA in ‘99. Was not a huge fan of VA until I went back to FL in 2012 to visit friends and family for a couple months. I’ll take the slow Richmond days over the chaos that is Ft Lauderdale, Boca, and Pompano. I haven’t been back and would actively avoid returning to the state should an opportunity arise.

People always ask how we handle the heat down there, it’s simple really….we don’t go outside after 8am or before 5pm and our air cons are top notch.
