Mayor Danny Avula and Virginia Delegate Betsy Carr, D-78th District, pose for a photo with Mayor Richard Pyne of Richmond upon Thames, a borough in London, during his visit to the River City last week. They met March 6 at Virginia House for “The Two Richmonds” event, which highlighted the historic ties between the two cities. Richmond, Va., was named after Richmond, England, due to the similar views of the James River and the River Thames.
