Richmond.com recently featured an article about Hollywood Cemetery that took a different approach from the usual “look at how many Presidents are buried here”-the author considers her favorite ‘stars’.

Richmonders may not have been able to brag about the revitalization of Church Hill, because it almost got demolished. Preservationist Mary Wingfield Scott was instrumental in saving this neighborhood, as well as Oregon Hill and Linden Row. Thankfully, Richmond is known for its historic beauty, not an excess of Wal-Marts and giant parking lots.
