Ayyyy my fellow Austin escapees are outliers. I know there’s quite a few (like 10) of us. Will we be spared from scrutiny? Tune in to the next “Richmond is the next Austin” post/comment to find out!

I really hope they kept as much of the original interior. That place is filled with beautiful wood work.

Technically it almost never “closes”, just all the services close (food, airlines, rentals, security). As long as the CRAC police are there it’s “open”.

Looks like someplace Nosferatu would linger around

The problem here is that every experience at RIC I have is pretty low stress compared to larger airports. I can usually get from parking to gates in 30 minutes. And we are starting to get more long direct routes like a direct Richmond to Denver flight that saves hours compared to a layover in DC or charlotte or just driving directly to DC and start from there.

So cold. So dreary. I think I need coffee and lots of baked goods to survive this!

Yeah, pretending bad people don’t exist and choosing to be defenseless because you refuse to accept reality is the solution. You can choose to be a victim if you want, but it’s none of your business if others choose differently.

Sacramento and Richmond are very similar

Right and I think it actually highlights how good the airport experience usually is. I can get from my door to the gate in 20 minutes usually, so knowing that’s the norm (which is an exception for most airports) was what made it frustrating.

Honestly I think it's kinda cringe when people freak out about crime in the white parts of the city but don't say a word when something happens in Fulton and carver and mosby, etc.
It's a city. Guns are legal. Ergo people are gonna shoot each other. You're just pearl clutching cause you're white and want the crime to go back to the black parts of the city "where it belongs"
Richmonds violent crime rate isn't particularly bad. According to us news, we are below average. And that's with our stats being higher than they should be since we don't include surrounding counties like most metro areas (cities are parts of counties in every state except va)

The TSA checkpoint also closes unreasonably early. My sister once made it to the checkpoint 30 minutes before a late night flight (think around 10pm) and they were closing up shop.
She had to beg them to let her through.

I'm not talking about the commute to and from Boston, I'm talking about places like Merrimack, Hudson, Newton etc to Nashua.

Yes, I get that. But there is currently no international commercial service that you can book.

well, let's say 50 a year go unsolved. Times that by 10 years, that's 50 murders unsolved. Math is easy on this one. Chances are, if you live in the city, someone you pass on your daily has killed someone.
Shootings are 3-4 times the amount that actually die, so in the people you pass everyday, there are 3-4 times the amount of people that have shot someone.
EDIT: Bad math, I was thining of the more than 100 murders we have per year, times 10. Thank you for the correction.
