<p>I got some great suggestions about Burlington, so now that I am going to Richmond I thought it would be a great place to come for ideas :)</p>
<p>I was wondering what would be good to do while I am there, and are there any areas that are not safe to stay in. I am looking at Richmond itself (preferably the downtown area) for hotels/motels, since I am not traveling by car, but money is an issue, so I can’t afford a really expensive hotel (actually $100 a night is the absolute limit, and if I can find something cheaper, I can stay longer). If you have any ideas about either things to do or safe areas/hotels to stay in, I would really appreciate it!</p>
