Richmond - The Editor, Re: "Readers' Choice Awards edition," News, Oct. 23.I am writing you from the neighbourhood of Hamilton. Obviously, you have never heard of it because we were not on the map nor mentioned in your list of 17 neighbourhoods of Richmond in your edition of Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013.We are located at the eastern tip of the city, we have a beautiful community centre that was renovated and enlarged in April 2011,an elementary school with over 300 children, a small shopping mall, a fire hall, a big park and much more. We are home to more than 5,100 people, according to the latest census.Even though we seem far away from downtown Richmond, we are actually only 10 minutes from the city centre. We are definitely hidden, but not invisible! I hope you take the time to come and visit our neighbourhood for the first time.Agnes ShinkarikRichmond
