If you're talking about Golden Skillet on 360 West shopping center, that's been there probably since the shopping mall went up.
I came to US in 1988 and saw that place while going to small karate studio in 1989.
I did things here and there and came back to VA in mid 2010s and was surprised that Golden Skillet is still operating out of same location eventhough just about every other stores changed.

Buttermilk Trail is easily accessible from those neighborhoods if OP wants to run trails.

It’s the best one in the area, definitely better than the one on Jahnke.

True Tattoo is near the Golden Skillet on Jahnke.

I had the same issue with HCAVa physicians with letting you make an appointment only to cancel it a week later because those open appointments “aren’t for new patients”. I called Reynolds Primary Care on Forest Ave I wanna say in October or November maybe and was able to get an appointment for December - however, I went in saying I had specific concerns and wanted to see a PCP to discuss them, which I guess sounds more urgent than just wanting a routine physical exam. If you call and say you’re just a new patient and want to establish yourself as such it seems that they have no urgency, but if you call and say you have xyz concerns you may be able to get in sooner

They are typically in ghetto areas as you have seen.

The one on Jahnke is so cool inside, the interior hasn’t changed since the ‘80’s, and it’s pretty good.

I grew up with Golden Skillet (there are still a few in eastern NC, centered around Ahoskie.) The ones back there had pretty good eastern NC BBQ, particularly for a fast food fried chicken joint. Otherwise, the mac and cheese was decent, and the fried chicken isn't going to win any awards, but it's good.

Yep! Doc is fantastic, office staff and procedures are awful. For about six months, their after hours number didn’t work (!!!). Kept telling them about it, gave me attitude. They leave early too. I had a prescription issue one Friday afternoon (the visit was that morning) and called a half hour before closing - crickets. No way to leave a message, no after hours nurse, etc. Ended up going to patient first that night, and turns out they misdiagnosed me. This all could have been figured out if they hadn’t left early and had a functioning after hours procedure. I did decide to switch docs, and found one. I’m in month 4 of my 7 month wait for my first appt 😂

Check out Chestnut Hill just north of Bio Park. It’s a great up and coming neighborhood with mostly family. You can see VCU Health from the neighborhood. My wife works at VCU Health and I work downtown so we just ride the bus together then a short walk to MCV. There are usually other VCU employees on the bus. If you drive and can get a parking at N Deck (Barns and Noble) or 8th street deck (MCV gym) then you can get to work in less than 10 mins and you never have to worry about traffic because that route is fairly light in traffic. On my telework day I will drive and drop my wife off at work and I am usually home within 20 mins.

I see other people saying this but I will also say it. Westover hills/Woodland heights area is safe and a PERFECT location for runners. I am a daily runner so I am very familiar with the area. You can run across multiple points on the river (via nickel bridge to fan, Lee bridge to VCU campus, walking bridge to browns island, or Manchester bridge to the Bottom. It is truly the best option if you want a house, yard, and a city type feel - coffee shops and dining within walking distance (crossroads, Blanchard’s, Laura lees, little nickel, etc.) I am a single woman living by myself in this area and I feel comfortable running in the daylight. I would not feel comfortable running at night anywhere in Richmond, in general. Keep in mind, it is STILL Richmond- the closer you get to Midlothian turnpike or Hull st in those areas, I would say the riskier it gets. Things have become much pricier in this area lately, but you may be able to find a fixer upper still in the area and it would be worth the investment. Hope this helps some. I love where I live!!

Try Dr. Yorleny Sherrier at Grove Avenue Primary Care. She is amazing!
