It seems we hustle through our days self-absorbed or half-asleep, oblivious to our surroundings beyond windshields or phone screens. We see superficially, and miss out on a secret world that’s hidden right in front of us. It’s especially true here in Richmond, a city of quiet pleasures, buried treasures, saints and sinners, urban legends and layers of history just waiting to be peeled back and revealed.
