When Weather.com forecasts Richmond-area temperatures to soar above 90 degrees, you need to find a way to beat the heat. Why not cool off with a scoop or two of your favorite frozen treat? National Ice Cream Day is July 21. While consuming copious amounts of this cool confection is a great way to celebrate this holiday, our REALTORS® know ice cream isn't just for summer anymore.
So, if you're new to our area and can't go another day without two scoops of mint chocolate chip, we've got our list of six local ice cream shops waiting for you.

July 15th is National Give Something Away Day. People across the country observe this day by donating items to organizations to help others.

Food trucks have long been loved around the world, with some of the longest-running trucks in cities like London, Oxford, and Cambridge in the UK. Today, this global phenomenon has spread across the United States.
Not surprisingly, our area is on the cutting edge of this trend in the United States. Our REALTORS® agree--there's nothing like a local Richmond food truck for a scrumptious lunch.
These trucks, which roam our streets, show up just in time for lunch, a festival or pre-game tailgating party to quiet the cravings of hungry bystanders with a cornucopia of fare from paninis and tacos to Asian fusion and funnel cakes.
Here is our list of six favorite food trucks to visit. While it is certainly not definitive, it is a great "sampler" of where to find some of the best food trucks in our area.
Note: Most food trucks in Richmond do not have fixed locations, although there are some areas of town that are more popular than others. To get the latest information on where to find your favorite truck, check out its website or visit Food Trucks In, which gives you live truck status.
