Last week we asked you to describe Richmond in two words, building off a random tweet we saw and loved.

Some answers we got and loved:

🤤 Deliciously historical.
🐀 River rat.
🚙 Bad drivers.
👃 Weed smelling.
👖 Jeans anywhere.
🌉 Bridge bigots.
🖊️ Tattooed AF.
😂 Confederate Portland.
🥕 Diet Seattle.
👎 NoVa hating.
👨‍🎤 OG punks.

Our thought bubble: 👑 These were all great suggestions, but nobody sent in the obvious one, so we'll throw it out here and crown ourselves the winner: chicken bones.
