You are 87% a Richmonder!
Ok. Your score should be 100%. Why not? I know why. You are a Richmonder, but you left. Maybe you went away for college and never came back, or maybe you went to St. Catharines or Collegiate and never had the benefit of a public school education. Private school kids: Refresh your memories with a dinner at The Tobacco Company and a cup of coffee in Shockoe slip; Public school kids: Grab a brew at Richbraw and take your Jeep for a root.
