People who don’t live in NHP will tell you to run away. People who live in NHP will explain the nuances. Make sure to identify each comment.

  • NASCAR is only twice a year, try it out, maybe kids will enjoy it! We walk to the track, from the house, without issue or harassment.
  • City life is city life. Enjoy the ups and avoid the downs. This applies to people as well.
  • Crime hasn’t been an issue for us but we have cameras.

Things I don’t like:

  • Neighborhood is changing over fast - so the economic disparity is becoming more and more noticeable. How will this affect daily life? Dunno yet.
  • Somewhat related, I will say majority of the newcomers don’t seem very friendly. Maybe it’s just my perception though. Passerby acknowledgement type of stuff. I’m not looking for conversation but a smile or wave would be nice, instead of staring at me as if I just self-immolated.

All of Virginia thinks Richmond is Gotham but then half of Richmond buys into the same BS and thinks that North Highland Park is Gotham.

Well now I'm sold that you compared it to Gotham. Look what you done did

I’m not the one comparing it to Gotham, some random dude at a gas station in Martinsville did! 🤣

Then the folks in this sub, who live in Richmond but not NHP… they would ironically sneer at Gas Station Man’s comment & take offense - but all while they themselves denounce Northside to anyone who remotely asks.

It’s a circle. 🙄

I just don't know whether to be proud or offended by the comparison, but my proud-o-meter is certainly lighting up green
