But that's waht you get when people still worship dead confederate generals, talk about "the war of northern aggression" as if it happened last week, and have a conniption about a statue of Honest Abe or Arthur Ashe being erected in town. Gah. I love this place, but some people here haven't had their two brain cells bounce off each other in a long, long time.
Ahhhh, that sounds like the fine city I once loved and finally left.

I do, however, kinda miss the trees and hills in richmond. But I do not miss living in SHort Pump Have you seen that new Downtown Short Pump place? Makes me sick to my stomach!
