http://www2.richmond.com/blogs/screen-scene/2010/jul/02/last-airbender-review-ar-592324/
Mike Ward thought this movie based on the childrens' cartoon was possibly the worst movie ever created. We've never seen him hate a movie this much. But the fans agreed. Most thought this M. Night Shyamalan film was worse than anything they could imagine.

Understanding women is a tricking thing. Luckily, we have Caroline's Plate, which teaches us various things in love and relationships. Apparently, learning how women think and act is a popular search term.

If there’s one thing people in Richmond love, it’s food. If there’s two things they love, then it's food that’s cheap. From discounted wine to 2-for-1 deals, plenty of Richmond restaurants offer some excellent dining specials that make it possible to dine out. And readers love knowing where to go.

Halloween is the time of year when women get to dress up as their favorite character (if they were female and had less clothing). Some of the costumes we found weren't as sexy as they were weird. Sexy Chewbacca... really?
2. Snow is Coming!
http://www2.richmond.com/news/2010/jan/27/snow-coming-ar-594671/
2010 (and part of 2009) was the year of Snowmaggedon. Since Richmond never knows what to do during a snowstorm, we tend to lose our minds completely. Karri Peifer wrote this humorous piece on what we do when snow is on the way.

Again, with the food. People in Richmond were serious when it came to Restaurant Week. As soon as we announced it, people were all over it. And when some controversy surrounding particpating restaurants started, interest in the event rose even more.
