Re: “Inward and Upward”

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the comments on this article. I don't like making fun of a place that someone calls home, but I will never be OK hearing that WBV is "the future." And, of course, it is not. It's the past 60 years with a second level on top.

And it's been validated by corporate presence. I still haven't forgiven Whole Foods for leaving this fellow Texas native high and dry.

To me, the most obvious reason to leave Richmond is to put your kids through county schools. It's unfortunate that we can't seem to have it both ways in this city: urbanity and quality public education. So I don't fault you for living where you live, but I wish this article had made an effort to look past the facade. Since I'm not a journalist (yet), I don't know what it's like to come out with news every week or how each article is assigned. If the goal was to reach more Suburban readers, I'm afraid you may have failed. These comments make clear our opinion.

Make the move, my suburban friends. If you want a shiny RVA sticker, live in RVA.
