"Growth. Diversity. Restoration. These are all words that describe the direction that Richmond is going. The development of condominiums, reconstruction of roads, and the opening of malls, such as Short Pump Mall and Stony Point Fashion Park, are attracting more people to the area. The rebirth of city life is evident at Virginia Commonwealth University in its expansion and diversity. The opening and reopening of coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, allow students and city-goers to truly enjoy day and night life as well as grasp the spirit of Richmond. The combination of diversity, and shopping centers with more upscale and popular stores is sprouting a large interest in fashion within the city."
