[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people have a natural affinity for one over the other--I don't think the "trashing" goes in one direction more than the other.

In general, as a liberal D, I am more comfortable with the politics in MD than VA, [u]which still celebrates Lee-Jackson Day[/u].   On a more specific level, I do find northern VA awful to be designed only to be navigated by car, and yet awful to navigate by car.

In MD traffic is horrible because the county spent years and years on a plan which concentrates growth as much as possible and results in too many cars on the road.  In VA traffic is horrible because no one ever plans for growth, resulting in too many cars on the road.[/quote]

Surely you realize that NoVA is practically an entity unto itself as far as the rest of VA is concerned?  I've never seen or heard of anyone north of Fredricksburg or Richmond doing this.[/quote]

I'm OP and it makes me laugh that people lump Northern Virginia in with "the South." I'm from the South. This is NOT the South. You're right, Northern Virginia is its own entity. Geographically it might lie in the South but there are no Southerners here. [/quote]

Bless ya'll's heart for pointing that out...[/quote]

Please don't turn it into a South bashing post. My point was, if the only "minus" against Virginia is you think it's "the South", it's not a very strong point. And y'all is already plural, it doesn't require an "s" and you punctuated it incorrectly. [/quote]

Whoa, apologies for the punctuation.  My point was to thank you for pointing out that NOVA is not the South, anymore.  Anyone making the claim does not know the area very well, that is all.  I am not bashing the South.[/quote]
