Nothing to do with food, but I just thought this was rather interesting and wanted to document it. An "ethnic/racial" map of Richmond.
Using Census Bureau information (albeit from 2000) and the methodology of cartographer Bill Rankin, who produced a racial map of Chicago, this guy Eric Fischer created maps for several cities in the U.S. Here's the one for our fair city (you can barely see the James river snaking across).
The full set is on his flickr page. Some are quite fascinating like NYC and Washington DC
White areas = pink, Black = blue, Hispanic = orange, Asian = green and Other = gray.
I'm not sure I can/want to read anything technical/socio-economic from this data, just one of those Richmond thoughts that had nowhere else to go!
