Post a CommentThanks for your clarification on the bridge.
this, im sure, is no fault of the author but i have to mention that the associated photo is not the nickel bridge. its actually a double track railway bridge, locally referred to as the tressel bridge.
The Omni in Richmond is gorgeous. The Jefferson is pretty damned cool to stay in. Candlewood is generic but ok for families. quality Inn is a bit on the crappy side, or was when I lived in Richmond.
