Hello from Richmond (1 Viewer)

[robh]

Like so many people, I got into poker about 20 years ago after the Chris Moneymaker run. Five of us founded a group in Midlothian, Virginia (near Richmond), and I've been able to keep a weekly game going ever since. Back in the 2006-2009 time frame I put together a pretty big collection of Mullet Bay Grand Casino chips. I'll try to get some pictures of my set and post them in a week or two.

I used to follow Chiptalk.net many years ago, and enjoyed seeing input/pictures from chip collectors. Just found this site recently, and I have enjoyed catching up on seeing what folks are into these days.

Cheers, Rob

Hey Rob. Seeing Richmond reminded me of seeing Phil Lesh and friends at the Mosque . Great venue. They even played Whiskey River, the old Willie Nelson show opening tune

Yup. It's not called the Mosque anymore. Now it's the Altria Theater. Great place to see shows.

I’m big on using the real name of places. Why would they change such a great name for a venue

Welcome to the forum!

Native RVA here, grew up in Midlothian (Salisbury) many moons ago - lol.

With all the local PCF popping up, I should move back.

Money unfortunately. Altria is just Phillip Morris in “disguise”

 

[Burke]

My dad is the production manager of the Hampton Coliseum and he still calls it the Mosque too! Name lives on for people that always knew it as that it seems!

 

[grebe]

I work at VCU. It's the Mosque.
