That magazine that people always compare RVA to (for what reason is beyond me, but anyway) has an article in its latest issue about our fair city, headlined by that striking image at the top of this article. It kind of nails the spirit of this place, the way we all like the easy living and constant parties, but also strongly implies that it means we don't have ambition. I take strong exception to sentences like: "If you’re moving there, you obviously have given up on being noticed in your career," and "We could not possibly imagine a worse fate than if the rest of the world actually cared what happened here." (Sentences like that may also explain why the article features no byline.) But hey, if people think we're all having the time of our lives in this city, we must be doing something right.
Read the article for yourself and form your own opinion.
(publisher note: We already knew about this last year but our editor Necci hadn't til today.)
