What's wrong with NC possibly being "more Southern" than VA?

Here we go with some people from VA claiming there is no southern culture present. Trust me I lived there for 4 years and they are just as country as their NC cousins. I think the trend is that it is cool to say you are from the south. I hear it all the time how someone knows someone who moved to NC, SC, GA, FL etc...

Newport News if that is country enough for ya...I have an uncle in Richmond and visited him many times. Richmond is nice but come on it is just as southern as any city south of DC. Emporia, Suffolk, Danville you can't be serious.........

I know no one was talking about me in particular, just thought I'd point that out. At any rate, as far as "Southern" goes, I think NC and VA are just about even here. As for both states' two largest metros, one is more Southern than the other (Charlotte, Richmond) and the other is home to a lot of transplants (Hampton Roads, the Triangle). The other metros are pretty much Southern (Asheville, with somewhat of a liberal bent).

Well accually Virginia has 3 large metros RIC/TC, HR, and NOVA.

about all the major cities in virginia are liberal.

I forgot about NOVA, but even it has its conservative tendencies, since the whole area is comprised of DC suburbs.

Also "Southern" doesn't necessarily equal conservative. I made sure to steer clear of that designation, as it opens a whole 'notha can o' worms.

half of it is in Virginia, you didn't know that its a border town?

Thats kind of a stretch. It's metro approaches the border but just barely. I don't think any part of the metro is considered to cross into Virginia though. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

To be fair, Richmond is the 3rd largest metro in Virginia behind Nova/DC (NOVA alone is stil bigger than the Richmond metro by population) and Hampton Roads.

As for the country thing... I looked at it as rural (country) vs. urban and for the most part, Richmond is the latter.

HAHA... NC can keep Winston-Salem, I used to work for Krispy Kreme and I will never work for them again! I'll still buy doughnuts though... But JWCJ, the cities and towns I mentioned were what are some examples of cities left out of this post:

What if u took DC metro, The Triangle, Charlotte, The Hampton Roads-Norfolk Area, Ashville, Wilmington, Richmond, Roanoke, Lynchburg & The Triad out of the picture. Now which state would pick? HAHAHAHAHA Hard huh!!!

You restated some of them. And I counted Williamsburg along with Hampton Roads, the Tri-Cities with Richmond, no need to mention Crystal City (not really a city) since he mentioned the DC metro. Virginia still has many more places up its sleeve so beware tarheels!
