It takes me almost as long to get from Arlington to NYC as it does from Arlington to Hampton Roads. And Richmond is much closer to DC than Hampton Roads.

What do the rest of you guys think?

Oh, no not you again !

And its Y'all, not You Guys

Richmond is much more East of Hampton Roads than North.
Richmond is closer to Hampton Roads.

EAST of Hampton Roads? Wouldn't that put Richmond in the middle of the Atlantic?

I actually meant Richmond is WEST.

It's easy to do that.

Perhaps all along you've been typing Richmond is "Southern", but meant "Northern"?

After all it's easy to mix-up Richmond with Northern cities like Hartford and Rochester.

I guess I shall bow out gracefully, then. Its the only Richmond thing to do.

I just hate the term "Mid-Atlantic", though . It sounds so Un-Southern.
