They both wear pearls, pastels / Lily Pulitzer, Jack Rogers or Tory Burch sandals, and generally exude a Southern sorority girl vibe. My neighbor dresses her kids in smocked, embroidered outfits for every holiday and has oil paintings of her kids - very similar to our family friends in North Carolina. They are ALL about things like baby showers, meal trains, and all the traditional homemaker / Pinterest things I associate with southern women, Mormons, and stay at home moms.

It sounds as though when you see "southern," you only hear "white southern."

I'm not saying you're the only one on this thread who does that, but it's pretty telling.

Southern doesn’t equal Mormon, at all.

Does your BFF know you think these things? Oh no, meal trains when someone is sick or dies?! Baby showers! How nasty?!

DP here. Actually Mormon wives and white Southern wives have a lot in common. Big emphasis on homemaking and being SAHM’s, having at least 3 kids, dressing them in matching or cutesy clothes, and in general just having their entire identify being motherhood and their children.

That does not describe the average Richmond mother, at all. GMAFB.

-Born and raised in Richmond

Well I was born and raised in Richmond too and that describes every wife/mother I know who still lives here. Sure a couple of them teach preschool 3 mornings a week or sell some sort of MLM, but the rest is absolutely accurate. Also post endless on social media about motherhood. 3 kids minimum.

Sure. Every woman you know who still lives there is a SAHM? All of them?

Not the ones I know, or my siblings or my mother or my grandmother. So I guess we cancel each other out. I call troll.

I'm not a troll. Maybe your family isn't very well off? UMC married women in Richmond either don't work or have hobby jobs or work very part time. Especially the ones who come from families who have been there a very long time.

You're definitely a troll.

Nope. But you are definitely not from Richmond.

13 yr senior of St C but ok.

None of my college friends or acquaintances from St. C have real jobs. Not one. Some have hobby jobs.

I know, look at all these losers selling candles on Facebook, especially Lt. Col. Lauren Wagner Palagi.

No, the original person who said it actually thinks DC is above the Mason Dixon.

then why are all the fastest growing states all in the south (nc, ga, tx, fl)?

+1

Fastest growing in terms of inbound migrations. Why...people look at the weather and the lower housing prices primarily. Soon or later one or both people need more advanced care and zap... said folks are heading home where there are more MDs to treat whatever they have and th waits to get into various health facilities is shorter. One good hurricanee will knock some of them out. Med care is another good excuse. Or looking for better or more plentiful opportunities.

Also, take a look at outward bound moves.

I consider DC a mid sized city. If it weren’t for being the capital, it would be as relevant as Montogomery Alabama.

It’s not about the size, it’s still in the south. South of the macon-dixon line.

Interesting perspective! DC population is 700K+, with DC metro area closing in on 6 million. Montgomery AL population is less than 200K.

Would Ashland/Hanover be a good place to raise a family? Are there local amenities nearby, and does it feel suburban?

I’m not a huge dc booster of the amazing things about dc is that it has over the past 25 years become a major American city. In all senses of the word and not because it’s a capital (it was a capital in the 1990s but it was provincial as a city).

Have you been to Montgomery? It’s like a small southern town that was frozen in 1955. I was there last year and god was it depressing. Felt dead except for the Legacy museum and memorial. Which also kind of reinforced my feelings about the town.
