Creativity! Stumbled onto the Richmond Murals

With a couple free hours in Richmond, I went out exploring with my camera.  We were staying at the gorgeous Jefferson Hotel in Downtown Richmond, so I wandered toward and along Broad Street for a bit.  And what a treat!

Block after block of terrific murals, a great little boutique with original dresses designed by some VCU design students, and lots of quirky shops and independent local restaurants.   It was a terrific little afternoon walk.  Between the terrific food, great museums, and other sights  we left Richmond feeling like we had ignored it far too long and would be back again very soon.

I love a city that really embraces creativity!  (Need to get back to find the rest of the murals.)
