Richmond is "safer" now than it was prior to this video. The 80s, 90s, early 2000s was rough! Now, if you just mind your business, no one will bother you. City full of folks who are genuine good people. Richmond is like the introduction to southern hospitality. Love my city!
Warm greetings from Indonesia Thanks Brother for sharing wonderful night at Richmond Virginia Wish you always healthy and happy God bless you and family
I live in nyc. I took a trip last week to RVA and that night life was nothing compared to nyc . I actually had a blast walking late night by myself as a female. Its really not that bad . I walked tue areas you walked too.
Of course its not NYC ,Its it own. But you probably came at a time when Richmond got tamed. It was the Murder Capital definitely in the 90s. The Fan District wasn't safe back then neither still not at night. Alot of rape victims over there. Women were targets walking at night alone. Just putting that out there in case you come back one day
I enjoy these videos of my hometown. I do not go into that part of the city that often. You seem very safe to me. I know it can feel intimidating. But it's a lot safer now than it use to be. I had no idea how beautiful downtown is now. I use to work right around the street years ago..Thanks for the memories ❤
@@Tahonga yeah you're right work in certain fields so I was good but yeah deterred a couple unsavory looking up to no good. People are always in denial or lie on the areas crime because they know they live here and don't do anything about it.
Downtown night scene in richmond is safe, especially now. If you want to hang around certain people then of course it’s bad. I’ve been here since I was 22, I’m 26 now and I’ve never been around anything dangerous with Richmond’s night scene.
This was filmed during the Covid-19 lockdown so cafes were mostly empty and very few people were out. Other than that you were on the East side Shockoe Bottom area in 2 small blocks around East Franklin. Not sure what your title implies, but maybe you thought it was Chicago.
Shockoe Bottom i see, use to be alot more clubs and places but alot of places closed up, Probably because of COVID and Gun violence or they just packed it up and left. It used to be way way more crazy than this
Title seems to be clickbait. Nothing really going on in Shockoe that night that would make you say don’t go here alone. I wouldn’t go alone at night in any city. Lots of places to hang out with friends and plenty of good food. You should have stopped in the Tipsy Crab, their food is amazing. Nice video though.
On this Channel our goal is to show the beauty of every city and to inspire fellow travelers with raw and unfiltered content. We try to leave the negatives out of our content. That being said, Shockoe is a wonderful place to visit during the day, just not as much during the night!
I lived in Richmond for almost 10 years and it was by far the best place I've ever lived in. Super beautiful women and nobody bothers anybody, everyone leaves everyone alone. Of course that was a little over 10 years ago so I don't know how much has changed. Richmond also had the most polite drivers I just heard a little honk in the backgroud but it took me like 5.5 years to get honked at on the road. In Nashville where I live now I got honked at five times my first day there, Chicago was also like that!
I lived for three years above where that Cantina is now. It can get dicey, but I loved it down there. Trivia: it’s Edgar Allan Poe’s childhood neighborhood; his mom is buried at St John’s, up the street on Church Hill. 🙏🏻
DONT GO HERE ALONE ??? I have several girlfriends that go here alone every weekend and meet up with their friends never having a problem other than finding free parking. Ive lived here since 1980 and never had any problems. Also much like NYC there are several police officers on every corner on weekends making sure everything goes smoothly and it always does. Your the first person ever to say "don't go here alone" as if it was the bowels of Detroit. Shockoe bottom is really nice with several bars and clubs and apartments all over. I did enjoy your video however as it was clearly a slow night due to COVID. Thanks for sharing
@@wyattlong8321 shockoe bottom ... Its in downtown Richmond . At night it has bars and clubs that are open till 2 am and during the day you can visit the canal Walk which goes on for many miles on the James River. On weekends the canal Walk has many people walking, bicycling, boating and visiting places off the canal Walk. In this area there are many places to sit on the Rocks of the james river and enjoy the beautiful scenery and many people wade in the water HOWEVER be careful my friend as the river has a strong current so you dont want to go out far. You will be able to gage the safe areas by the number of people and how far out they are. It's a really friendly area and you will meet some really nice people. I hope this helps 👍
Shockoe Slip ain’t bad at all. It’s usually safe to walk around at night anywhere in Richmond, even in places like mosby and gilpin. Don’t start problems and you won’t have any.
They actually use it to represent DC often in movies. The precise area where he is the first couple minutes of the video near that farmer's market is where they shot a critical scene in Hannibal.
I live like a hour away from Richmond I'm from Yorktown va. I haven't had a problem walking there after sunset that area is mostly college kids. I ran into a few homeless people there and they were cool as hell. I gave them some cigarettes and bought a few sandwiches for them
I agree with some here though that Shockoe bottom/slip is kind of dicey! Much better places in Richomnd like The Fan! Richmond, VA has all these different neighborhoods, there's one for everyone! I liked JJ's up in Glen Allen, just North of Richmond, and some of the bars in neighborhoods less known that were just as fun! The things l loved about Richmond, VA the most, were no one bothers you there, everybody except for Shockoe usually just leaves you alone and that's just how people are out there, it is one of the few bigger metropolitan cities where men don't heavily outnumber the women late at night at the bars, the women on average are far better looking there than in most places ,(sorry don't mean to insult anyone just my opinion), and the drivers, yes the drivers, there is an etiquette that is very unique to Richmond, where most people seem to drive the speed limit, they signal when they make turns, rarely does anyone ever honk at anyone! Being a rep for so long, driving is the biggest part of my life and it can either make you miserable, (i.e Chicago, Nashville, etc..), or you can actually enjoy driving as I did on my routes from Richmond, VA to the North Carolina border!!! P.S. be careful if you have New York plates and drive on 95 like down to Florida because the State police very well could pull you over! Overall it's the best city I have ever lived in even though unfortunely I left for a job!!!
Its not a particularly dangerous place. There's a lot of yuppies in that area, hardly scary lol. But like Trending Verge said, don't fuck around with people and nothing bad will happen.
It's not an unsafe place I don't know why they said it wasn't. Like maybe be aware of what's going on around you but that's like life 101. It's common sense. It gets a bit rowdy on the weekends but during the weeknight it's tame AF
City's not scary unless you no certain people or a skill or two. Not on the surface it isn't, You must be psychic or have more insight in general because it's a true and false statement.
I just moved to Richmond been here almost a year now and I must say the nightlife is pretty boring. The dj play good music but nobody is dancing. The ladies going hard like the guys lol they don't shake ass and turn up, they stand there and wait for all the trap songs so they can throw one arm up and rap the lyrics 🤣 but I ain't knocking it tho every city got a different nightlife vibe.

Southern hospitality??? 😂😂😂

If we're gonna be honest Richmond isn't bad I always go by myself outside and nothing has happened to me
Thanks for watching!
Warm greetings from Indonesia
Thanks Brother for sharing wonderful night at Richmond Virginia
Wish you always healthy and happy
God bless you and family
Many thanks for walking with me! stay safe.
@@TimeTravelWalk you are welcome Brother
I live in nyc. I took a trip last week to RVA and that night life was nothing compared to nyc . I actually had a blast walking late night by myself as a female. Its really not that bad . I walked tue areas you walked too.
Is the nightlife good? Might be moving there from small town ny
RVA is a big city with a small town vibe. I think you will love it!!
You described it perfectly!!!!@@TimeTravelWalk

If you can walk around at night with gear and not get robbed, why are you telling people not to go somewhere at night?
Bro was in the slip talking about DO NOT GO HEREhahhaha
@@mynameismyname4886 Think about my comment.
People get robbed and shot down there especially on E Broad between 17 and 19 street. Stop talking like shit don't go down down there
@@Tahonga yeah you're right work in certain fields so I was good but yeah deterred a couple unsavory looking up to no good. People are always in denial or lie on the areas crime because they know they live here and don't do anything about it.
I don’t go down there because I don’t live there, but the title. So stop pretending like you know what I do, bro. 😂
It's not bad around there I was born in raised there
I’ve been tooo Richmond 3 times and nothing hasn’t happened to me Great City I love Richmond ✍🏽📚💯👏🏾✅All Fsss…
took a trip down there last week had a great time at Stadium club .. Remind me of home Washington Dc Adams Morgan
A lot if similarities i agree. Night life in DC is also really big. Glad you enjoyed it

Crime happens around there all the time. No it is not Chicago but it does get dangerous around there
@@eawatahatanguatama383 does it get as dangerous there in Richmond as it does Washington DC and Baltimore area
Wonderful walk Tour at night my friend. Great ambience
Thank you for watching!

Richmond is tame now compared to the 80’s 😂
Very interesting video my friend, Stay safe , Thanks for sharing .. Greetings from Germany..

I just ate there for my birthday. Food was good but a little overpriced for what I got
Just because it looks that way doesn't mean that it is sweet. Yeah you can go any and every where that don't mean you will be safe
Feel happy to be on this trip with you. Always a pleasure to be here. : )
Thank you!
I’m from Richmond and ain’t nothing scary about it lmao

90s Richmond was different new Richmond is much better

I live in Churchill and shockoe isnt what it use to be back in the late 90's early 2000s. Those was the fun days for me.
Glad you enjoyed it.
DONT GO HERE ALONE ???
I have several girlfriends that go here alone every weekend and meet up with their friends never having a problem other than finding free parking.

Hey man, I'll be visiting Richmond soon from NC for a few days, where would you recommend going then for a good nightlife scene?

We walked around here just fine lol. Covid and social media has changed how ppl interact for the most part lol so it’s not bad like it used to be.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Very interesting place n video! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed the walk!

Richmond reminds me so much of Dc.
It does! Glad you can walk with us! 😊
They actually use it to represent DC often in movies. The precise area where he is the first couple minutes of the video near that farmer's market is where they shot a critical scene in Hannibal.
Its set up like the old Adams morgan
I don't get it ? You walked alone and looks pretty safe to me.
I'm from these streets and it's just the night life,it's not like it used to be.
Thanks for watching! Many people have said things have changed. Happy to see that it brings so many memories 😊
WOW! the bottom has really cleaned up. Makes me home sick now. 😁
Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! 🙏
I’ve walked these streets plenty of times ALONE. Lol this not a bad area and police presence is heavy. clickbait
I can hear medflight or life evac going or coming from MCV 🚁🚁🚁

My old stomping grounds in the 90s.
Born and Raised in this city nobody messes with me ever and I'm always alone
This title is not a lie you can not sleep on Richmonds Downtown you will get the shock of your life.
I live like a hour away from Richmond I'm from Yorktown va. I haven't had a problem walking there after sunset that area is mostly college kids. I ran into a few homeless people there and they were cool as hell. I gave them some cigarettes and bought a few sandwiches for them
The title of the video is classic click bait. SMH....I fell for it
You just need to be alert and watch out for people shooting their guns off in the Air, especially in Shockoe Bottom.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍👌
I agree with some here though that Shockoe bottom/slip is kind of dicey! Much better places in Richomnd like The Fan! Richmond, VA has all these different neighborhoods, there's one for everyone!

Nice sharing, Very beautiful night street and the town is wonderful .New Friends , Revisit your channel. +1
Thanks for visiting. Glad you enjoyed the walk.
I’m from here. Met my girlfriends down bottom plenty of times. 😂
This video starts like as if he just walked out of the strip club.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏😊
Yea wheres the parts not to go to when u come here. all that is just a big square
Glad you enjoyed watching the video! 😊🙏
Clickbait title. I explored the whole thing alone at night and people minded their own business.
That guy walking around in all white is sketchy af
Thanks for watching! 😊
Looks pretty usual to be honest
"Come to Richmond. You probably won't get shot".
Why do not walk here alone?
i was wondering the same thing unless the area isn't safe?
@@ClapHurts it’s a safe place. Idfk what this dude is talking about. People get shot cause they run their mouth. Like any city.
@@trendingverge Of course every city has bad areas i thought the downtown was bad or something.

how you walking alone then lol
Nonsense. Downtown is much safer than it used to be. 😂
Actually Richmond nightlife looks very tame. Borderline boring.
Of course nothing compared to NYC!
Richmond s night life is definitely not boring trust me it's not .
Richmond is not tame come see for yourself trust me it's not.
I just moved to Richmond been here almost a year now and I must say the nightlife is pretty boring. The dj play good music but nobody is dancing.
