I've lived in Richmond for only a few years, but I have no plans to leave any time soon. The city has beautiful buildings even in the most dilapidated of areas. There's something artistically pleasing about an old church that is no longer in service. The food options in Richmond are also plentiful from "Craver's Family Restaurant" (which has amazing onion rings) to Texas Roadhouse. There are also plenty of apartments that range from expensive to affordable, and a wide selection of hotels for a temporary stay. If you're looking for a small city with quiet nights, but plenty to do, I highly recommend Richmond, Indiana.
Richmond is a small town in Indiana. I feel as I grew up Richmond was a great place to live, it just didn't have as many things as most of the places around us did. Richmond isn't really an unsafe place to live if you don't put yourself into unsafe positions. While it has some flaws with safety, as long as you stay out of the drama there usually isn't anything wrong. Richmond lost points for me because there are no real attractions in Richmond. We have a history museum, a movie theater, and a couple of bowling alleys, but not really anything else. There are many restaurants in Richmond and a few shops, but other than simple stuff most places have there really isn't any wow factor of Richmond. So even though I felt safe while growing up, I also felt bored most of the time.
When talking about Richmond adults will tell you about the town’s glory days, but gone are the days of bustling industry and opportunity in this town. Many of the large factories so many used to work at are now left abandoned and desolate. Many stores do not last long as evidenced by the always diminishing mall. Despite this, Richmond is still home. Many families love the small town feel that it provides, the lack of traffic, and affordable housing. The town has also made many efforts towards improvement by hosting weekly farmers markets and improving biking paths. Richmond may not be what it once was, but with a caring community and a set of leaders willing to make a change, it doesn’t have to be a dying town forever.
