The image is of the Virginia capitol building in Richmond. And as a sometime resident of Richmond, I have to say it's a beautiful city. I had the chance to visit it again recently and was surprised by how much it's changed in the nearly twenty years since I lived there — it's incredibly liveable, close to DC, affordable, is close to the coast … and to other important historic sites and it has barbeque, too! It's also — along with Chapel Hill and Columbia, SC — one of the three best places in the world to research the old South (though I suspect that's of only moderate interest to people who'll be applying for the Robins chair!).
