The Crossings Cinema is small ~ they only have two screens, which limits their choice of films. However, at only $5 for an adult ticket, regardless of viewing time, it's an affordable alternative to other, higher priced theaters. Lately they've been getting the big summer blockbusters the same week the movies open nationwide, only without the crowds or long lines that other theaters command. The floor and bathrooms aren't the cleanest, and the food is outrageously priced, but if you like to watch movies on the big screen without paying big prices, the Crossings is a good place to go.

Pilo Arts is a hair salon on the Boulevard that offers an alternative to the cheap, $10 haircuts you get at the mall that look like cheap, $10 haircuts. The stylists at Pilo Arts do everything ~ haircuts, dyes, perms, you name it. They also do manicures and pedicures, though I've never tried those.
The haircuts that I've gotten at Pilo Arts were perfect. For once I found a stylist who could cut my hair from a picture in a magazine, and improve it to fit my lifestyle or features. If you're looking for a beauty salon or are tired of the cheap places, give Pilo Arts a try.

If you want a trophy, this is really the only place in Colonial Heights to get one. They are all pretty standard, nothing spectacular, but the variety of plaques they offer is really great. If you have even just a slight idea of what you'd like to do, the staff will help you create something that will really be beautiful and unique. The pricing can be a bit high at times, but overall they tend to work with you on that. They engrave glasses, too, which is pretty nice.

I've used Hughes for sending flowers, and have always been happy with their service. Their flowers are always nice and fresh, and they hold up very well. The people who work there are very nice and helpful. They deliver in the tri-cities area, and they wire flowers through FTD. A very nice place to do business.

Not being familiar with the area of Richmond where this store is located, I had a hard time finding it. It's pretty small, but they had a decent inventory. There was only one person working there at the time, and she was overly involved with another customer. I waited at the counter for about 10 minutes while she chatted with the other customer, who wasn't buying anything. It was not a real good shopping experience, and I don't know if I'll go back there again.

Perk's has been in the same spot for as long as I can remember. Nowadays, your shoes wear out, you toss them and buy a new pair. But, sometimes it pays to replace a heel or sole, or to mend a shoe or boot that's coming apart. I've used his services a few times in the past, (before I started tossing my worn out shoes) and had no complaints.

Even during the non-season last year, the Richmond RiverDogs didn't skip a beat! The coolest game on Earth comes to Richmond in the Richmond Coliseum every season. Fun for the whole family, just turn the kids' heads at the fights. The team holds auctions during the season to raise money; they auction off game-used autographed jerseys. Overall, it's just a really fun way to spend an afternoon or evening.

While the exhibits can be a bit mundane for adults, especially after multiple visits because the main exhibits don't really change, there are a lot of neat things for kids to do. They do a pretty decent job of making learning fun and everything is hands-on. The best thing is the IMAX dome; they get educational shows, fun shows (like Disney's Beauty & the Beast), and adventure documentaries that make you feel like you are really in the place the film is of. The gift shop is a great place to shop -- lots of cool things.

I'll tell you how to get here ~ take I-95 North to the Walthall exit (I forget the number, the one immediately after Temple Road, exit 56). Turn right onto Ruffin Mill Road and go a little ways around the bend. Right before you get to the factory, there's a small gated entrance that leads into fields. That's the berry farm.
The best time to pick strawberries is early May. Any time after Mother's Day weekend is too late. My mom and I found out about Walthall Berry Farm after the farm we had been visiting stopped opening up to pickers. If you love strawberries, definitely treat yourself to fresh picked ones!
The prices at Walthall Berry Farm are inexpensive, but the berries add up! I picked $26 worth and I swear I was eating strawberries for weeks after. It's fun and easy, great for the whole family, and enjoyable in the spring weather before it turns really hot.
I'm not sure if they offer other fruits or vegetables for picking, but they do sell some fresh vegetables and they will sell strawberries picked by their own staff if you don't want to pick your own. You can buy them by the pound or by the pint, however you prefer.

Boulevard Flowers is a bit expensive for my tastes, but they offer a large variety of plants for the gardener in us all. I like the fact that they have several cats roaming throughout the facility, as well!
Their gift shop is a fun place to shop if you have a gardener to buy for, and their florist offers many different potted plants, flowers, and balloons for those special occasions.
If you're looking for something in particular and can't find it at one of the discount department stores at the mall or the chain home & garden shops, take a look at Boulevard. You just might find what you had in mind.
