We love to slap that on a souvenir and sell it!

I've had that same stereotypical attitude about New York.

Reading this post sorta reminds me of New York. I went to middle school with a girl from NY who was very violent and loud and out of control. That coupled with the widespread belief around the country that New Yorkers are rude and mean, I already planned to be robbed or something when I visited New York. <br /><br />Surprisingly, when I moved down south and met ANOTHER girl from NY, who became one of my very best friends at that time, I saw another part of that city...she was as sweet as could be, as well as her family.<br /><br />Now as an adult who has been to New York on more than several occasions, I like it and the people better than Philadelphia, PA, I tell ya!<br /><br />Back to Richmond, Virginia, though, lol....I'm glad that you softened up a bit to it. I've been to Richmond a few times and have enjoyed each visit. In fact, I plan on going there again and found it quite interesting to have come across your blog post on this very town :)<br /><br />~Nicole<br /><br />Blog: <a href="http://www.madlabpost.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a><br />*My Recent A to Z post: R for Russian Roulette*<br /><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MadlabPost" rel="nofollow">@MadlabPost</a> on TwitterNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-49954778108094616182012-04-20T13:16:36.571-07:002012-04-20T13:16:36.571-07:00It's great reading this daily.
