[edit] Notable Richmondites
This section is extremely too long. There needs to be either a reduction, a link to a new page, or some other idea that may reduce the clutter of the page. As it stands now, this section detracts from the attractiveness of the overall Richmond page. Chris4682 Feb 13, 2007
[edit] Removal
- I think we can pretty much eliminate Hayes Arboretum as a point of interest, now, eh? --204.151.5.37 19:38, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- Hayes isn't exactly what I call a laughing matter. It is an important part of my town, and it needs to be included in the point of interest section, because, for many, it is still a major point of interest. In addition, it is still a privately-run business open to anyone who wants to come to it. In fact, I know multiple people who work at Hayes, and it is certainly a point of interest for them. As I said before, Hayes was, and still is an important part of Richmond, something that divided the town for months, if not years. There were tears shed along with angry words exchanged over the matter, yet people are suggesting the section be deleted?--Geam9111 06:31, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- "Point of interest" means a point of interest for tourists, not for people who work there. That said, it immediately comes up on a Web search and it has its own WP entry. That's more than can be said for a lot of the "notable Richmondites" listed. --Tysto 01:22, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I assumed that people would be able to use common sense to realize that if people are able to maintain jobs at Haye's, then there would still be visitors attending the arboretum, but I guess I shouldn't make assumptions. The point is that it is still a popular attraction in Richmond and is still a great arboretum. The sale of their land only resulted in the loss of the availability of road tours, leaving the arboretum with their walking trails among other attractions. It is still an attraction in the city of Richmond, and will remain so until it goes out of business, something that isn't a worry for Haye's as of now.--Geam9111 23:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
