2. Good for them. Mechanicsville?

That surprises me a bit. In the city I would have expected.

3. Right near the Henrico/Richmond line

There's a McDonalds right before you get on 64 to Richmond going over the bridge. That place is open 24/7 and people get shot at down there. It's a bitch of a place to work for $7 bucks an hour.

4. That would be in the East End section of Richmond?

I grew up in Richmond though I grew up in the West End instead of East End. This looks like it's ether in Shockoe bottom or the Shockoe hill section of Richmond or just east of either one of those. I have not lived in Richmond for 20 years now so I have forgotten quite a bit of Richmond geography.

I think the people at that micky d deserve better pay to work there. 7 dollars an hour isn't worth it under any conditions - let alone the conditions that they work under at that Micky D.

6. I know exactly where you are talking about

Yeah that is a rough place indeed good for them.
