RVA Magazine 2015 Readers’ Poll

by | Nov 12, 2015 | COMMUNITY

Welcome to the 2015 RVA Magazine Readers’ Poll!

Welcome to the 2015 RVA Magazine Readers’ Poll! There is a lot in Richmond we love, from local restaurants, to coffee shops to art galleries and shopping, and plenty of new fun locations are constantly popping up.

So many things have changed in our city, but many of our favorites continue to grow in this community. Just in the last year there has been so much going on around town that has transformed the cultural landscape.

This is where we at RVA Mag want to pick your brain. We want to know what you like most.

If we missed anything be sure to fill us in; we have a space just for that below each question. So here we go with a new list as we go into a new year. Thanks for taking the time to fill this out, and please share it with your favorite places and friends!
