You realize that DC is a southern city, technically, right?

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

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

This topic is worthy of its own thread.

Sounds like you don’t know then. Who eye rolls Ashland? You definitely don’t know much about the area if you don’t know about this. Oh well. Your loss.

It feels more rural/exurban with definitely some “country boy” thrown in. Lots of trucks, and not the $70k UMC dad type. I’m sure it’s a fine place to raise a family but whether or not it would suit you who knows. Would you be using public schools?

It’s definitely not all “redneck country”. Some of their homes are pricey with decent schools.

But it *is* the capital, so what's your point?

Are you claiming that Ashland and Betheda both have "some country people" and therefore have the same vibe?

There are definitely lots of country people in Hanover and Ashland.

You can’t compare Bethesda, a suburb located 5 minutes outside a city, and Ashland, which is located 45 minutes out from Richmond. Yes, Loudoun and Prince William both have some country people.

While I agree that Bethesda and Ashland are not comparable, Ashland is not 45 min from Richmond, it's like 15 min, 20 tops. 45 minutes out has you in Spottsylvania.

But PP said “country people” are everywhere! So distance doesn’t matter! Of course PP’s comment was absurd and that was my point. My description of Ashland was accurate. It’s country. And having million dollar homes doesn’t negate that.
