Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is centrally located two hours from Washington, DC, Virginia Beach and the Blue Ridge mountains. Richmond is at the intersection of I-95 and I-64 and is served by Richmond International Airport. There are many historic landmarks remaining in the city today and Williamsburg and Jamestown are just an hour away. The economy is driven by law and finance, however many Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in Richmond including Altria, Mead Westvaco, Owens and Minor, Dominion Resources, Capital One and Circuit City. Most of all, Richmond is fun…lots of shopping, museums, theaters, parks, history, sports, music and lots more.
