Monument Avenue is what it is. A long stretch of road through Richmond that has Monuments.. Nice houses along the road of the rich

No better way to spend Easter Sunday afternoon than strolling in the Easter Parade on Monument Ave. great food, vendors, and fantastic people watching. Design your Easter bonnet and join in the fun, you won't regret it.
