fwiw Portland has had minor population declines (2003) now, and I think post war as have other major cities. I think it's interesting but not major.

And our last census was an undercount for various reasons.

But urban area/msa is the best way to look. If someone moves from the Fan to lakeside I don't think they've really left Richmond

This was about 15 years ago. They came in every so often as a large group of about 20. The first time they came in, was when they said they didn’t want any black people waiting on them. They only said it to the host and none of us told management because 15 years ago, the “customer is always right” attitude was really catered to so we figured management wouldn’t care. It wasn’t until after they left that management found out about what they said and they had our backs and said the next time they came in, they couldn’t make that request and we could ask them to leave. The next time they came in, they didn’t say anything about not wanting a black server but we always made sure to have the black, gay server wait on them just to make them as uncomfortable as possible.

pokémon and zelda are the first two games I remember playing and they’ve both stuck with me as an adult. My gameboy went everywhere with me. A store in town had huge plushies of the og starters and I remember absolutely begging for a charmander. That poor guy got thrown up on, stitches up his back, you name it 😂 But I still have it to this day.

I don't think any lawyers, though we have 2 international firms, that one is an interesting question they might get left off. Hunton and McGuire. Biggest 2 are Performance Food Group and Carmax. Capitol one isn't on here because headquarters in Nova, but it still matters too. As do VCU/VCU med and state
