Check out this wonderful set of photos by Mike Brodie. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, so I imagine there is a part of everyone that would love to join these kids and live on their own terms.

Check out this wonderful set of photos by Mike Brodie. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, so I imagine there is a part of everyone that would love to join these kids and live on their own terms.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city.
