Anti Rent Gouging Bills to Cap Rent Increases Don’t Advance This Session State lawmakers did not advance legislation this session that aimed to slow rising rent prices, although affordable housing remains a big concern for constituents. Two proposed bills would have...
Mr. Boom is different. He rocks his ball-cap reversed, with faded t-shirts, jeans, and cool sneakers. He’s a business owner in his twenties with a vision that transcends profits. He cares about his friends, family, employees, the environment, good hip-hop and electronic music. I’ve never seen him stressed. Even when his restaurant was empty, he...

In Richmond, countless stores, shops, and restaurants appear and disappear in a moment. Along with the classic strongholds that you'll forever know, there are plenty of new gems that you'll nearly side-swipe parallel parked cars trying to catch a glimpse of: "Hey, when did that get there?" These places beg the curious taste buds to try something...

RVA has been in business 6 years today, kicking and screaming since April 15th, 2005! Thank you to everyone who has contributed their time to this project and to everyone who reads it. I am very humbled to still be around and making moves. On top of all that, the magazine has never been better and the city of Richmond has never been more exciting...

Bank St. in Petersburg, in order to present the public with his brand new book, Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind And Naked. RVA...

Paul Lazio was an alter ego that would cause trouble in the name of gonzo. Essentially, the guy was a loose cannon that made "helpful" suggestions to the authorities and get us in trouble. We couldn't control him and his antics just took the whole magazine on a ride into the bizarro. Nothing encapsulates this better than when the Queen of England...
