Where does Virginia begin to feel ‘Southern’?

Anonymous
From my experience, anywhere that isn’t suburbanized or that has a large transplant population feels pretty ‘southern’ in Virginia. Sometimes I feel as if places in Western Loudoun feel much more southern that Fredericksburg even though it’s geographically more northern due to its untouched character. But whenever I drive out to western prince William around Haymarket and Gainesville it feels very southern, I often hear southern accents among the elderly in restaurants and supermarkets. From your experience, where does Virginia begin to feel like the South?

Prince William county. The confederate flags start showing up on trucks around Woodbridge.

Anything south of Alexandria. Fat people everywhere consuming vast quantities of fried food.

West of Leesburg in Loudoun County feels, sounds, looks pretty southern.

The saying in Charlottesville is people from the South think they are up North. People from up North think they are in the South.

Please pretend I didn’t capitalize those.

Confederate flags start showing up on residential flag poles in Fauquier County, in between Middleburg and Warrenton in my experience.
