Central Square — Local services in Richmond

Caution is advised when using this shopping mall with a car. Even if you visit with friends and they enter a restaurant before you, you cannot leave the mall. You cannot leave the mall even if your girlfriend is getting a perm. You can't even cross the street to greet a friend. If you do, you'll receive an $80 or $120 parking violation ticket. As long as you have a car in the mall, you cannot leave. This is the mall's parking rule. Complaining about it yields no response, and they even hang up if they don't like the caller's attitude.
