I live in Richmond. It's a great place to work and live. There's a ton of information on the Greater Richmond Partnership's website:
www.grpva.com. Also, check out the Greater Richmond Chamber:
www.grcc.com. They offer a ton of networking opportuntities.
As for things to do in Richmond, there's a ton of shopping, outdoor sports, the river, festivals, beautiful parks, a great music scene, art and cultural museums, and a tremendous amout of history. Plus, it get to the mountains, ocean or D.C., it's only a 1.5 to 2 hour commute in any direction. There's plenty to do.
It took me a little while to like living here but once I started to explore and learn the area, I really liked it. I've even had a couple of friends move here and they love it.
Hope that helps! Good luck with your interview!
