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.

But they’re mostly college students, not young professionals as OP specifically asked about. (I am from Ashland area.)

I’d recommend Mom Friends (also RVA specific) over RVA Moms. I’ve seen some insane arguments and mom shaming on that group, and I almost never see that on Mom Friends.

I reached out to them at the beginning of my search. They only do personal training. Even with personal training, you can’t use the space outside of the PT hour. That seems to be most PT gyms’ policy.

Thanks! Online it just looks to be classes from what I can see, but are members able to use the fitness space at any time as well?

I don’t want a personal trainer. I just want to use the space.

Maybe you could DM me? I meant small-ish as in not Gold’s or big-box, not that it needs to be exclusive.

Obv Jasper as everyone has said. Another great place for visitors is the bar at the Jefferson.

I completely disagree. You are trying a chef's product and it's completely subjective; you are not guaranteed to like it. You're taking a risk. If something is genuinely wrong with the food -- it's tastes off, it's way too salty, it's the wrong dish, it smells bad, it's cold, etc, that's different. You just "don't like it"? No.

Bacchus is, in my opinion, extremely mediocre. I also find something about it a little bit gross, but I do like the mood in there

Hope you’re right! I’m surprised I couldn’t find anything either. I have the screenshot from the police scanner dispatch right after the accident but that’s all I have.
