That said, I grew up in Delmarva and live in (I have lived in all 3), which most people know as the mid-Atlantic. I think most would consider it neutral territory.

You can say this about Atlanta area, Austin area… DMV isn’t special.

Also Delmarva is a specific designation for the peninsula, not a substitute for “DMV”.

Nonsense. It’s a border area.

Still silly for DMVers to so haughtily proclaim their northernness when the rest of the country wouldn’t think of them as Northern.

It's because so many of them are not even American, much less Northern.

Nice. A healthy portion of xenophobia to go with your turkey.

For us it’s mostly about the money. Child can go to a better school in the south for a cheaper price. The schools are all pretty liberal so I don’t really pay much attention to the politics. They’ll be pretty isolated. But I understand those who feel differently. For me, it’s just not as important of a factor than education and affordability. I wouldn’t mind a school in the NE part of the county but it’s just too darn expensive. And I haven’t been able to talk my child into OH, PA, MI, etc. In the SE, they can get home easily and seems like a better option then flying West.
