 Richmond Magazine’s
September Issue
Nearby adventures, the city’s mayoral
candidates and more
- For folks cowed by high gas prices, it’s nice to
know that plenty of adventures are just within a couple hours of home.
In “Exploring
New Worlds,” our writers discover some
offbeat getaways, like strawberry picking at a commune and even a
little “nakation” at a nudist
resort.
- As Richmond’s five mayoral
candidates hit the bricks in search of votes, we went with
them. Here’s an up-close-and-personal look at each
one.
- OK, so just what the heck do birds of
prey, pop artist Andy Warhol and High School Musical 2 have in common? No,
it’s not a joke — they’re just a few of
the “25
A&E Must-sees” for 2008-2009. We
cover the calendar of music, art, family events, history and
more.
- Have you ever turned a corner in
Richmond only to have that weird feeling that you were in another city
or another country? So have we, and we’ve got the photos to
prove it. Our photo feature, “Far
Away, So Close,” offers some glimpses
of the world without leaving town.
- With a fresh new album out, @#%&*! Smilers, Richmond native and
singer-songwriter
Aimee Mann spends a few minutes talking with
contributor Richard Foster. The one-time Oscar nominee explains the
title of her latest work and laments her lack of time to get in some
boxing.
- Even Richmond’s historically
stable housing market can be a cipher to many first-time homebuyers. In
our Homebuyer’s
Guide, we offer some advice for new buyers and we get a
look at the boundaries between kind neighbors and considerate ones. And
as students get ready for classes again, we check in with education
topics in our Virginia Schools
Guide.
