Richmond #2

You know the deal. More RVA.

This is the mural found at the entrance to the loading alley for the One Capitol Square Building. Not the facade of the building. Not the outer wall. The loading alley. It depicts canoers on the James in front of, you guessed it, our very own River City. I have no idea when this mural was done or who did it, but it's just another example of the many, many beautiful hidden treasures to be found if you take the time to look for them in Richmond.

This is that hideous structure known as the 600 Broad St Building. It's just so ugly. I honestly can't stand it. The uniformity of color. The piss-ass excuse for geometric architectural variation. The complete disregard for the surrounding historical buildings. The 600 is absolutely one of the worst ideas to ever be erected in Richmond. But, if you zoom in close enough, it just might make for a neato picture.
