[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a former NYer, born, raised, schooled, and first-jobbed. I moved here over 25 years ago. Highly and proudly socially (and otherwise) liberal, and I donate and vote accordingly. First lived in DC. Got sick of lousy local services. Moved in with new bride in Alexandria, VA, over every instinct and objection. I have been shocked and impressed. VA, taken statewide, is bluer than MD. VA is more transparent. There is actual citizen govt in VA. There is astounding and easy diversity in VA. Our statewide elected officials are in many respects just wonderful. The redneck count isn't even a fraction of what I expected, and the VA rednecks are no more difficult to deal with than the rad-right outer-borough and Long Island republicans back in NY. And for a weekend trip, there is no funkier and nicer and more accessible and fascinating place in the world than Richmond. Pls consider. [/quote]
