<p>252525 provided URichmond with a very nice write up on the Collegte Visits section of this site.</p>
<p>I would however respectfully differ with 252525 on the mediocre grade 252525 he/ she in the evaluation for “City/Town/Community”. </p>
<p>The City of Richmond is a great place and I have included the following link from the New York Times Travel Section and request that 252525 keep an open mind regarding the City of Richmond. </p>
