“Richmond: We’ve Got Something to Prove”
-thisisrva.tumblr.com
“So it all came to me today while watching a woman breastfeed her 3 year old in Ellewood Thompson’s.
My sudden elightenment? That everyone in Richmond has something to prove.

Kilimanjaro, and in Glacier National Park will disappear in under 40 years; and Arctic ice melt will send polar bears into extinction.

VCU > ODU, GMU as an urban school, if nothing else, for the culture that surrounds it in the city of Richmond, VA. And I’d like to add — with its winding cobblestone alleyways, art school repertoire and thick, rich history, Richmond still has another surprise — the food.
