You just got punk'd.

We're all kidding with you knowing you're very sensitive to criticism of Richmond.

I like Richmond. It has rough spots, but I like it. I would NOT consider it a Northern city. No worries.

Richmond has a worse crime rate and more run down buildings.

Hampton at least has a beach and close to Virginia Beach and more Southern!

Hampton is not more Southern than Richmond . At all.

When I was over there, it felt very much like NOVA. Hampton is "Southern Lite" at best, whilte Richmond is more in tune with Memphis.

I would put Hampton to be one of the most boring places also I have ever been.

Virginia Beach is okay though.

neither, Tucson is more southern culturally and they got lots of sweet tea, and its worser. Richmond and Hampton are about as Southern as San Fransicso,well maybe SF has a few more southern qualities like sweet tea and southern belles.

What?!!! Nope. Hampton is A LOT more Southern than Richmond. Hell, Richmond does not come into ANYONE'S mind when they think Southern. Southern and Richmond just don't mix. Now, Southern and Hampton DEFINITELY do. They don't even know how to make grits in Richmond. You say fried chicken and they look at you like you're an alien. You say black eyed peas and they wanna know who got in a fight.

Talking It Came From Beneath The Sea -- TO DESTROY RICHMOND!

Now, mathematically, if you carry the "2", Richmond is worser than Hampton, but given the fact that Hampton is on the water, it's more prone to hurricanes and WORSE, Seamonster attacks.

But mostly because everybody in Hampton and Richmond hate everybody from Europe and think that they are far superior, I have to call it a tie.
Sea Monster attacks at the Hampton Roads area are a big problem which is why the navy built a big base at nearby Norfolk. Not suprisingly the Sea Monsters are trying to get upriver and destroy Richmond. Some come from the Cape Fear area of the Carolinas but a bad one came from up North, The Monitor!
