How to be a true Richmonder when you've just moved here
Moving here is the first step, but it doesn't make you a Richmonder just yet. Why it matters: Richmonders like to insist you notch certain experiences in this city before claiming it, and that takes time. Zoom in: Here's a cheat sheet to get you started. ⏰ Take the time to learn the city's complicated past, the people who've long been here and how both have shaped the present. 🤬 Get pissed at the city and maybe tweet about it. You'll find like-minded people and about five more issues to be annoyed about within the hour. 💀 Be funny in a crisis. Nothing bonds us more than collectively meme'ing our way through not having running water for three days. 💅🏼 Casually drop "That's so Richmond" in a conversation. No one ever asks follow-ups. They'll just nod because there's a 99% chance whatever you're referring to really is "so Richmond." 🚗 Get towed by Siebert's, and try (and fail) to talk them into not towing you. 🌉 Cross the bridge (all of them). 🔥 Roast Scott's Addition, even if you live there. 🍗 Find a chicken bone on the sidewalk. 💪🏼 Go to Black Rabbit for a flash tattoo so you can then stop anyone you see who looks like they got their tattoo done by the same person. ⚠️ Learn to drive down the small two-way side streets without panicking that both cars won't fit.
