    Definitely listen to this podcast if you're obsessed with Richmond, Virginia. If not, might be pretty boring for ya.

    I don't think the correlation between shopping small and using the "shop small hashtag" has anything to do with what city "shops small" the most.

    More like it's just showing what city uses hashtags the most... and there's no true correlation to what they're saying.... but they talk and go on about it for a long, long time.
