Tip of the hat to reporter Emily Battle here at The Free Lance-Star for pointing this out on her blog, and congrats to our neighbors down the road in Richmond for making the APA’s (American Planning Association’s) list of the TOP 10 GREAT PLACES IN AMERICA: STREETS category. Of course this honor was bestowed upon Richmond’s historic Monument Avenue, perhaps the best looking place that I’ve ever seen within a city.

This accolade came as no surprise to me. After all, who would not be impressed by the beautiful landscape and towering statues of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee, Jackson, and Stuart? I was also pleased to see that four of the ten streets reside in the South. So come visit us people, we need your tourism dollars to keep our taxes down. :)
