About Monument Avenue [excerpt]
"Monument Avenue is the nation’s only grand residential boulevard with monuments of its scale surviving almost unaltered to the present day.The district is nationally significant for its architecture and as an example of city planning. A broad residential tree-lined street extending for some five miles from inner city Richmond westward into Henrico County.
The avenue takes its name from the series of monumental statues that mark its major intersections"
I have driven Monument Avenue hundreds of times and I still am in awe.
When the statues are gone and they rename it Martin Luther King Blvd, I will never return.
(I have brought many people here to see that and the battlefields, that will stop)
