WHY is RICHMOND
ONE STREET CITY?
STRANGERS WONDER

Why Is Richmond all built around
one principal street, Main street?
This is the first question that Ii
asked by stranger when he comes tc

answered today by Lewis s. Bowman
The reason, explained the Commercial
club president. is because the Nation
al road was at one time Richmond 4
greatest asset. Consequently all bus
mess houses sprung up along the
thoroughfare. Modern business houses
have replaced the old ones but Rich
mond has never been able to over
come its earliest characteristic.
