I was born and raised outside of NYC and still have family in the  
area. Every time I go back I enjoy the museums, culture (although the  
Modlin Center and Landmark do a pretty good job for a lot less on the  
culture side), and restaurants... but wonder why anyone would want to  
put up with the traffic. The same is true of LA, the only place I  
ever got caught in "traffic" on a week night at 11:30. Don't those  
people have homes?

I like Richmond just fine.
