Do You Know Richmond (or the Near West End) InsideOut?
Got something neat to say about Richmond? There is this supercool new website called Richmond InsideOut. Locals post their favorite things about Richmond for all to read. Then, others vote for the best ideas. Not only do the first 50 people to post ideas get $25 AmEx cards, but also each time you post you are entered to win 2 round trip tickets for your friends to come and visit the city you love best — Richmond.
OK, here is your chance to tell the world about all the cool things Richmond (oh, and don’t forget to mention, the Near West End).
It looks like this was put up by the Richmond Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau? That would explain why the “What’s happening now” links are all richmond.com posts, right?
actually i found this entry by clicking a link from “what’s happening now”! looks like an rss feed from a bunch of sources.

(sorry, hit submit prematurely and thought i caught it before it was too late…)
The developer said that they had the rvanews feed in that spot “but there were a couple of stories about shootings showing up on the front page and they made me change it.” I suggested that they maybe just use the RVA News tagged for “Entertainment” and they seem to have responded. Cool.
They sent me an email saying I won one of the giftcards. Pretty cool, thanks for passing it along!
