Local papers Style Weekly and Richmond Times-Dispatch ask Richmonders what makes them "so very Richmond".

Here are a few popular answers.

You're very Richmond If......

-Your last name sounds like a first name

-Your idea of diversity is inviting someone from Chesterfield county to your dinner party

-When there's the slightest mention of snow in the weather forecast you high tail it to Ukrop's

-Before insulting someone you always say "bless his/her heart"

-You refer to events as before/after The War

-You've been to "The Mosque" but you sure aren't Muslim

-You have at least one family member that's been commited to Tucker's.

last name sounds like a first name???? not sure i agree with this one... that sounds like the kind of thing that would happen in immigrant NYC. The reason so many people in America have last names like "jones" and "smith" is because when people were immigrating here in the 17/1800s, if they couldn't pronounce you're name - you were screwed! So everyone coming over here renamed themselves for it to be simpler to group families together


anyway, You're very Richmond if...

-you pronounce it "rivah" not "river"

Well that's a part of Richmond I guess but I think it's pretty inaccurate to classify Richmond solely in this old Southern manner. It's certainly not any of the people that I hang out with. My "You're Very Richmond If" list would include calling PBR - the "People's Beer of Richmond", you've got a mountain bike or kayak on your deck, you've ever had one too many at Friday Cheers, or you spend January and February counting the days until the start of "Festival Season".
