Am I the only one who's offended by the fact that other cities are recognizable just their name but Richmond has to be specified to Virginia?

Literally never heard of Richmond CA. Maybe it is known to West Coasters?

Richmond, CA isn’t well known or anything. There’s a lot more than 2 Richmonds in the USA.

That’s a shit load of Richmonds.

I've heard of Richmond, CA but never knew it was actually named after Richmond, VA. Wild.

I'm always offended when I'm filling out an online form and it auto-fills "Richmond County, VA" when I type just "Richmond" and then tab to get to the next field.
