Richmond is the only city I know of that has class 4 rapids within its city limits. Class 3 in the downtown area pretty much where that Lee Bridge is in that picture.

Also not that far from one of the worst chemical spills into a river in US history.

Beautiful people. Nice as state capitals go. Love Richmond.
