It seems like Richmond is named "up and coming" this or "on the rise" that every few months for one outlet or another. But locals have always known it as a place where a person can find good eats and cheap thrills (looking at you James River) without having to look too hard. So too with shopping, especially within the last few of years. Thanks to several boutiques quietly opening up around the city, Richmond's retail junkies have fewer and fewer good reasons to set foot in one of the surrounding malls.
