I remember these places: Twisters, Exile. I was in Richmond from 1981 to 1986, and again from 1986 to 1994. I left for Minneapolis in 94. After seeing this video, I guess it was a good move out of Richmond then. I know that VCU has altered the landscape very much. I returned for a visit in 2001, and it wasn't much different then from the 90s. I'm due for an updated visit.
Your not missing anything richmond sucks now nothing but dumbass liberals run it all the Confederate monuments are gone, richmond coliseum is shut down, richmond is gone and sold down the river
Thanks for sharing this! This is what it was like going to VCU in the 90s. After about '99, the college took over the city. Sometimes I think about how younger people have it so easy down there nowadays. I'm still glad I got to experience it this way back then. It was hard, getting around. I remember registering for classes in a gym on paper. Please post more of these "class projects" if you have them! Very cool
And it's awesome! Makes me want to do a follow up for Norfolk, VB, Richmond, for 2016, just views like what you did. It's a really nice time capsule what you did. Really nice. I graduated HS in 1996, and it's cool to see a city from a time with less people takin' pics all the time like they do, now. (By that I mean, in order to take video, you had to have a VIDEO CAMERA....not just a smart phone or go-pro)

No more crime like the 90’s.
Still gritty though.

My world from 94 to 97 when I lived on Grace. I can smell the Metro club and Twisters stank
93-97 at Grace and Lombard. good times, simpler times, slower times, cheaper times and healthier times. VCU sure came into its own.

I loved Twisters
25 fucking years ago - good and cheap to live The Fan back in the day. Didn't think Monument Avenue would be gone so soon.
I remember somebody told me that back in the 90s, he had an apartment that was $400/month in The Fan. Crazy!
I had one that was $315 a month back then.
lake poppers came to town
Aladdin Express is about the only thing still there
Wow. I remember!

What was this for? A class project?
I might have responded yes, but really I was not a student and this was just for fun.
