And that’s relevant how?

"Is West Virginia in the DMV" - perception from out west: no, it's not.

West Virginia is absolutely apart of the DMV

I thought I read that OPM is expanding DC locality pay to include 2 counties in West Virginia.

Maryland is below the Mason/Dixon, honey.

DP. West Virginia seceded from Virginia during the Civil War. Before that it was Virginia.

West Virginia is a mess, Democrats ruined that state

It is when the Federal government sets locality pay.

All that means is that people in the west don’t know what they’re talking about.

Culturally and economically, the Eastern Panhandle has very little in common with the rest of WV, and more in common with the greater DC area. Those counties were "engineered" to be included in the new state of West Virginia to prevent the B&O railroad -- Washington's lifeline to the west -- from finding itself in the confederate state of Virginia. (The B&O crossed into Virginia at Harpers Ferry, then back into Maryland at Cumberland.)

Of course not.

Which part PP? The D, the M, the V…?

Truthfully though, when most people talk about the “DMV” they usually aren’t referring to southwestern Virginia or western Maryland. I’d argue that “DMV” means something culturally as well as geographical. So: No.

Yes, WV is most certainly part of the DC metro area!!!

Just like Germantown is part of Muy Norte Potomac and Aspen Hill is part of North East Bethesda.

Ignore the haters, op. You are correct.

1863 is when West Virginia split from Virginia.

Think of the DMV as the local tv market.
Can you watch WTTG, WRC in W Va?

I don’t consider Baltimore part of the DMV. It also happens to be a different tv market.
