[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a native Marylander, and still live in MD, so I understand. I can't imagine crossing the river either, but if you can get past the mental part of it, I'm sure you'll be fine.

For me, there is something about Virginia being the seat of the Confederacy that I just can't get over -- even 155 years after the Civil War ended. It helps, though, that even in Virginia they are starting to displace monuments to the Confederacy and take Lee's name, and those of other Confederate leaders, off of schools and such.[/quote]

LOL. Maryland was south of the Mason-Dixon line. Give me a break. [/quote]
DP.. it's more about recent history, 1960's,  than something that happened in 1860. Did you see the movie "Loving"?  That coupled came  up to DC to escape VA's racist marriage laws at the time.  1967 - many of us were alive in 1967.

VA also only recently ratified the ERA - Jan. 2020.

Those things don't impact our day to day  lives, obviously, but it's the combination of those little things that makes VA look more like the "south" to outsiders.

BTW, I just realized how ironic the "Virginia is for lovers" slogan is. LOL[/quote]
