"River City"

Now, just to be sure that you have soaked up all of Richmond's diverse culture and unique landmarks, you will need to take the quiz that follows below. If you ace the quiz, then you deserve to know the coordinates to one of the city's finest, yet somewhat secretive, golden gems.

You may begin!

*It's an open screen quiz, so use it!


Part 1

  1. In which direction is Meadow Street running?
  2. How many digits are proudly inked on this Richmonder's skin?
  3. At the start of which hour would the famous Byrd Theatre be showing a movie featuring a boyscout who befriends an elderly man, and female bird named Kevin?
  4. Who is the man of stone who sits valiantly on his horse, guarding Monument Avenue for eternity? For it is not a first name that Richmonders shall remember, but a last.
  5. How many of these primates permanently hangout at a favorite local joint for good eats and drinks?
  6. Who was the man for whom a museum was built for to remember his life and to celebrate his brilliant poetic masterpieces?
  7. Video art, split screens, split screens! What is the total number of split screens in one frame? Subtract 10!
  8. No, this is not a part of the city yet, but this type of transportation has inspired a local grill to grab its' namesake. What's the mode?

Part 2

  1. In which direction is Grace Street running?
  2. Freebie! This answer = 0. Thank Richmonders for their southern hospitality!
  3. Now that you are on Grace, what is the address of the tattoo parlor that resides here? Now focus on the digit in the ones place.
  4. If you work downtown and make lots of dough, you might live here, on "blank" row.
  5. How many faux motorcycles were featured in this lesson?
  6. What's the name of the company, whose building can be seen in the skyline, that provides electric power to Richmond?
  7. How many tickets were left at The National?
  8. At which hour could you catch a flick about loosening one's tie?
  9. What type of hip urban transportation is slower than a motorcycle or a vespa, but still has two wheels and a motor?
