The very best place I ever lived was the Fan district in Richmond. I could walk to work, the market, the bookstore, the hospital, dozens of eateries and art galleries. I bought $5 bouquets of flowers from a street vendor every Friday on my way home from work. The laundrymat was across the street from my apartment. I walked to Carytown for movies and shopping, to downtown for variety and to the Mosque for events. The only time I drove my car was to visit someone outside the district.

God, I miss that place.
