Buy[edit]Richmond is home to Hilltop Mall, a large enclosed shopping center anchored by Macy's, Sears, JC Penney, and Walmart. Outside of any shopping center, a local favorite is Annie's Annuals, a nursery that specializes in rare, exotic, and down-right interesting plants. Annie's is so extensive, leave yourself a few hours to browse the entire operation. Downtown Point Richmond has many shops and cafes. Eat[edit]

Stay safe[edit]The safest parts of Richmond consist of Marina Bay and Point Richmond south of I-580, the Hilltop area north of San Pablo where Hilltop Mall is and much of East Richmond on the other side of I-80 or San Pablo Avenue at the most. Areas to exercise caution, and to avoid at night, are the Iron Triangle and Central Richmond near Cutting, McDonald and Barrett Avenues. These regional segments of Richmond are the reason behind its horrible reputation. In fact, the city used to rank with Compton as one of the worst cities in California statistically when it came to crime rate. However, these days it's a lot safer, even if it's not the most well-to-do city in the Bay. Go next[edit]
