Yeah, I like it. Well, it's most likely bc there was an accessory store in there that I really liked. embarassed
DCA is okay too. I thought it would be better due to its location. I do have a good memory there. There was this one time where I missed the last flight of the night and spent the night there.

Hello friends, its been a while. I'm making plans of migrating to Richmond, Virginia by next year after which I will relocate to silicon valley in the future. What can you say about the city for a budding techpreneur and a Nigerian like me.

Nice place. Explore and drive a little south, Hampton and Hampton roads, good for IT jobs, seafood, beach (close by cities), outlet brands stores and attractions.

Silicon Valley? Only if you have a very good job paying very well, expensive living.

I like Richmond. What can you not do in Richmond that you can do in Silicine Valley. Economically you would probably be better off in Virginia. DC is a train ride away which there loads of opportunity/contacts there. Virginia Tech which is a good university is in Richmond where there are some brilliant minds. Virginia Beach is 2 hrs drive away. Good food etc. But it is Jim Crow South, so...

I believe there are more tech presence, opportunities and network in silicon valley when compared to Richmond area. I plan staying there for some few years due to its cheaper cost of living, then save up and move to the west.

Based on research, I found out it has a reasonable tech presence. However, this is just my own finding and that's why am seeking opinions from people who have been there. I need general information as regards culture, racism, cost of living and opportunities.

Hello house, which states are best for an immigrant looking to hustle (under the table) while schooling?




lol!...Why do you have to work under the table while schooling? What happened to the student visa rules of not working more than 20 hours and needs your school approval.

Also, I was under the impression that genuine student with valid student visas are granted temporary work permits to use to work while school is out of session?

I think you will be fine in Richmond. Like I said earlier there are opportunities in Richmond. Depending on your age and temperament you might like living closer to the college campus as it's more diverse and more things to do. Richmond is relatively affordable and safe. Lots of people commute from Richmond and other parts of Virginia Washington DC by train or car where there is infinite amounts of opportunities and things to see and do. Virginia Beach which is a popular destination cuz it's near the Atlantic ocean is a 2 hr drive, and it's nice. I won't sugarcoat that Virginia has a deep rooted history of racism as all states in the deep south. However, people of color do thrive there and most dont have any major problems now. But just know it's under the surface, anybody who tells you different is either lying or naive. As far as housing I can ask my aunt what she recommends as she lives there. Do you have some specific questions and I can ask her for you.

Not so much lately. Washington DC has so many blacks, Richmond and Hampton roads have military people, many bases, military people is well traveled and live every day together, many different race. Richmond is a good IT jobs market.

He ordered military strike and backed out at last second... After saying this morning Iran unintentionally downed the drone. Is he not confused?

Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York and San Francisco.

Trump is targeting those cities for his deportation clampdown.

This guy is trying to change the narratives......firing up his base as he did in 2016.he's facing the hard reality that winning a reelection is more a bigger task.

I think people should stay away from there for now . But traveling now a days is just becoming unsafe especially for Americans. They don’t understand that developing countries function very differently from America.
