According to Wikipedia, Norfolk's population stands at 234,403 (at least as of the 2000 census), whereas Richmond is 193,777 (a fairly current census estimate). So if you're rounding to the nearest hundred thousand, I guess they're close enough to appear equal.

Is a little color too much to ask?   Va Beach needs a little Miami flare.

I think it would be nice if they put blue lights on all of the edges, like in Norfolk :D

While we're at it, I've taken a few shots of the Norfolk skyline that I'm very proud of. Some of the pictures are very large.

And finally, this one is from the top of the Holiday Inn in Portsmouth that will soon be demolished to make way for a killer new development. Nice view, huh?

Here's one of my favorite shots of the skyline. I found it on flickr, and I was sure that I added it to my favorites, but now I can't find the owner. I searched through hundreds of harborfest photos but couldn't find the original. I took the original photo and cropped it to just show the skyline. I really like how Harbor Heights is showing in the skyline now too.  :)

Those are kind of generic, they came quickly out of necessity. I guess they could appear though:

Reston:

Crystal City:
