[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I (late 50s) are Fairfax County natives and our parents (and my way back to my great grandparents) all grew up in Washington, DC proper.

I call my parents’ hometown Dee Cee or maybe Washington. The DMV is dept of motor vehicles.

DH and I rarely visit DC. Maybe once a year for an event or if we have guests who’d like a tour.

I’ve given zero thought to “Delmarva” although I’ve spent every summer on and around Delaware beaches.

DH and I aren’t alone in our shared hatred of the entire state of Maryland - the drivers, the infrastructure, and with very few exceptions the state’s overall grubby grittiness. We joke that any time we drive into MD we feel vaguely queasy and a bit car sick. I could never live in Maryland because I fear the nausea would be ongoing. I think there’s a reciprocal “rivalry”  between VA and MD. My friends and family from equivalent suburban MD expressed surprise/discomfort/unease when visiting VA ‘burbs (“you have the same stores we have!” or “I can’t find my way around here - can you help?”).

Delaware? Sure. Sign me up and would move there in a hot minute. Love the tax free shopping.[/quote]

Md resident:  hate to break it to you but we never even think about Virginia.   They say 'hate' and 'love' are both passionate feelings.  We are in your head rent free.  Where as I am totally meh about Northern Virginia.  [/quote]
