I looked all over Google last night for info on a self-guided walking tour of the Church Hill area, but ended up planning my own based on my foggy memories of working at Bellevue Elementary School many years ago.
A girlfriend and I braved the heat for a little while, then retreated to a de-lish lunch at Millie's Diner on East Main Street.
Richmond is still pretty on a 100+ degree day, especially the shady spots.
This road is directly alongside Bellevue School. We watched a lady riding a scooter chug, chug, chug up the hill.

A cobblestone alley
More alley
It just keeps getting prettier and prettier
Spikey wrought iron

These impatiens are probably watered several times each day
More hydrangeas
Intricate grill work on the porch railing
Happy 5th of July to all!
