Old Fulton

When you look at the depressing wasteland that is there now, the bulldozing of Fulton seems senseless.  They've managed to slap down a few generic-looking houses but for the entire time I've lived in Richmond it's just looked like a construction zone.  Check out some of the history of that area in this WTVR video, via CHPN.

I really didn't have any knowledge of this place existing, though I assumed something must have been there before.  It looks similar to Oregon Hill, and I can't imagine what Richmond would look like if the city had applied similar plans to all the other historical neighborhoods during hard times.
