Counting Crows brought their signature blend of alt-rock nostalgia and emotional resonance to Richmond’s new Allianz Amphitheater this past weekend, playing to a packed crowd under clear summer skies. The night kicked off with The Gaslight Anthem, opened the evening...
New photos from our friend and photographer Nick Ghobashi. Nestled in the back of a city neighborhood, next to a graveyard, this little slab of paradise gets its name from the nearby trail that leads to the beach. It's not really much of a beach, more like a lil sand on the shore of the river where you can have some fun, get chased by snakes and...

Apparently Virginia Beach has some things going for it. From what I can tell, the place is ripe with youthful rage and wild-spirited party animals. The whole scene is either obscenely weird or weirdly obscene, and while the boys and girls from the Tidewater are drinking a tripped out Kool-Aid, a talented triangle is capturing it all. Along with...
As a former history major who wrote my senior thesis about theater as a form of edification for Richmond society (what was I smoking?), I felt like a hypocrite for not visiting the Valentine History Center since moving to RVA. Having heard heaps of praise about what is colloquially called the “tattoo exhibit,” I decided I could no longer put off...
Last week, we brought you Chad Brown's recap of the wild, crazy, and completely overwhelming experience he had at SXSW 2012. But in truth, that was only half the story.

Taylor Surratt is a model/anti-model hailing from the concrete garden of NFK/Portsmouth, VA. Her style and attitude could blow through you like a fence-wrapped hurricane. Her essence is that of a black metal hipster, and her wit is sharper than her teeth. Taylor’s gutter glam casts spells in her photos, which make you pay attention and makes you...
