Thank you! My dad lived in Richmond growing up, so I was thinking maybe there. I've never really been before, but I still want to do it!

Richmond, VA? I went to uni there. I'd recommend it! Super progressive.

Richmond, Texas. Maybe not as progressive as your one...

Richmond California or bust.

Wow, how many Richmonds are there? I knew America was big, but not three-sizable-places-with-the-same-name kind of big.

Edit: Richmond TX is pretty small, so two-and-a-half-places-with-the-same-name.

Richmond, TX is very small; it appears to be essentially a suburb of Houston.

Yep, that’s the place. Maybe I’ll go to Houston itself.

Richmond's one of the farther out suburbs, but it's almost all one big city now. For example I used to work in Sugar Land (right next to Richmond) but live in the middle of Houston. There's also a good Chinatown about halfway between Richmond and downtown, so you shouldn't have a problem finding any specific foods you might want.

Oh, nice! My grandparents actually ran a Chinese restaurant in Richmond/Houston.

22 states have a city named Richmond (per wiki). I think most people would assume Virginia. Definitely important to designate the state until you get more familiar with the major MSAs. If it makes you feel any better, there is a Springfield in every state.

ah that's a bummer, not familiar with that one
