Richmond's alternative for news, arts, and culture
Best of Richmond 2011
Most Noir Places in Richmond
Critics' Pick
As determined by the editors of "Richmond Noir,"Andrew Blossom, Brian Castleberry and Tom DeHaven
1. Hollywood Cemetery: Even on a sunny day the interplay of light and dark offers a visual tapestry reminiscent of expressionist noir films.
2. The Alleys of the Fan: Noir thrives on corridors down which desperate souls stumble.
3. Windsor Farms: Noir wouldn’t be noir without a neighborhood such as this, with big houses holding big secrets — somewhere for the rich to live and the poor to stumble across their crimes.
4. Manchester: Looming brick buildings, long shadows, and empty, windblown streets. Manchester provides a kind of noir ideal.
5. James River: You’ve got to have somewhere to dump the bodies.
