The earth has once again reached the point in its circular journey around the sun where Richmond is blessed/cursed with warmth. I’m sure as summer wanes the air will be filled with both sweat and the riotous sounds of Richmonders complaining about the humidity.

For a list of some of our favorite patios check out this piece we ran, hilariously entitled Patios, brah!. — Ed.
