I have been to both places, not at the same time, but in separate trips four years apart. D.C. has a very different cultural feel and atmosphere than Richmond does. Richmond is more like North Carolina, and D.C. feels more like the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic (southern Northeast), at least to me.
Actually, Richmond is more like Virginia North Carolinians are nowhere near as stuffy....


But it has Southern influences from both Virginia and North Carolina regions, correct.

Right, that's what I meant. It's the capital of Virginia, so common sense would dictate it is most representative of the state it's in. Northern Virginia is more like Maryland than Virginia.

In Atlant about 95% or so are not from Atlanta, almost everybody I've ever spoke to were from NYC

In terms of cultural, it is basically any place that has had significant population growth the last 30 years since Northern transplants are the largest block of that. (Except Miami which is a whole different influence at this point) The interesting question is long-term what happens to these locations, do the children of transplants assimilate into Southern culture or do they change the culture.

Another thought in lets ask the flipside question. Which Northern city is most influenced by the South? My guess is a combination of Great Migration cities and Border Cities where the South isn't that far away.

I think this is the most accurate statement.

whoa. can't believe this wasn't mentioned when the thread started. But the Texas cities should not be mentioned in this thread. They are mostly influenced by the Western cities if anything as opposed to the Northern cities.
