Nancy Eaton, AP, reports from Richmond on Virginia life as a transplant from Connecticut. She notes courteous door opening, preserved history from Byrd Field to Jamestown, quiet streets in downtown Richmond, and a surprising absence of loud arguments over issues like integration. She also highlights Virginia politics with a Republican governor candidate and conservative liquor laws shaping daily life.
