I've never been to Madison County, Kentucky, but I've learned all about it:
Richmond, home of Eastern Kentucky University, is a part of Madison County which has a population of approximately 57,000....
Richmond is also home to the 10th largest planetarium in the United States and the second largest on a college campus in the world, the Arnim D. Hummel Planetarium and Space Theater. Located on Easterns campus, the 164-seat theater provides students and the community with a view of the sky as it would appear from any known planet or moon in our solar system....
Richmond is also about an hour and a half from Louisville to the west and about an hour and a half from Cincinnati to the north....
Madison County is surrounded by Fayette, Clark, Estill, Rockcastle, Garrard and Jessamine counties.
But whether you're in Richmond, Kentucky or Richmond, Virginia, you pretty much find the same stores everywhere. Look at the list of the new stores that are coming to the Richmond Centre:
New eateries for students to try include Logan's Roadhouse and Culver's, a burger joint comparable to Steak-n-Shake or Dairy Queen....
This month, Chick-fil-A and Koto Japanese Bistro each opened their doors....
Panera Bread will offer free Wi-Fi for customers, in addition to its pastries and breads baked daily, and Olive Garden's unlimited soup and salad will tempt students with big appetites and small wallets....
Oh, and there's one other restaurant that's coming:
Buffalo Wild Wings will challenge Hooters and Madison Garden, two of the most successful sports bars in Richmond. With a plethora of widescreen TVs and its signature in-house trivia system, "B-Dubs" will be equipped for success in a college town.
I don't know if NTN Buzztime has ever conducted any demographic studies of their players, so I don't know if college students form a large part of the NTN Buzztime player empire, or whether they're just a small part (since significant numbers of college students are below the legal drinking age in the United States).
But in this town, Buffalo Wild Wings will have to duke it out with Galaxy Center and Gillums Sports Lounge for Richmond bragging rights.
