Richmond reminds me of the common reputation of Portland, but maybe I've not spent enough time in Portland to say whether that's accurate or not.

It’s a bit like Portland used to be 15 years ago, in that it’s small and artsy.

small and artsy, but you don't run into as many eccentric characters in Richmond.

10 years, run into lots of characters? I don't understand?

If by ptown you mean Mass, yeah we don't have dick dock here. but still plenty of characters

we used to have a lot more but rent made it ridiculous for weirdo artists to live in the city anymore (similar with what happened to DC in the 90s/early 2000s)

They’ve managed to stick around pdx which is much more expensive than rva

Yeah— there’s lots of local art, that’s it.

Richmond is way more diverse and interesting culturally.
