The majority of the South is Lower/Deep South. VA isn't deep South and Richmond is on or close to the Bay. It ain't Northern but there are certain Mid-Atlantic traits that it has.

Thanks, but I'm aware of this. There are deep business ties between Richmond and both Atlanta and Charlotte, and it's definitely a big part of the picture that's not being realized. There are some Virginians that seem desperate to align with the NE Corridor, and it's always intrested me.
This is all nothing more than your extremely narrow and incredibly subjective opinion presented as fact.
You don't get to define what anybody thinks, nor do you get to assign cities to regions. Thankfully, you hardly speak for the general population by any stretch of imagination.
No, but the OP does! Go back to his original post and read it. Here it is in its entireity:
"East coast vs east coast duel. Which has better cities and outdoor scenery including beaches and parks. Which is the east coasts better half."
Clearly he is not including Atlanta and Charlotte.
Outside of New York City, Philadelphia, and maybe Boston, the Southeast has more populous cities; Charlotte, Jacksonville, Virginia Beach, D.C., Nashville, Memphis, Baltimore, Louisville, Atlanta, etc as well as covering a much larger area, so it's a hard comparison. If I had to choose it would be the Northeast for economic reasons. A more interesting thread would've been the Northwest vs the Southwest.

I see what you are saying but the thread title is off.

That's not what it is, it's just that Virginians are one of the few groups on here that are constantly told by outsiders about what our culture is like. By people with literally very little or no knowledge what the atmosphere is like in The Crescent, by people who think doing a pass thru or two here makes them experts, by people who hold on to the history of the area more than the actual residents...
Some people hear our frustration and say we seem "desperate to align", those people can't conceptualize that the alignments have always been there, lonf before people were talking about places on the web, and you guys lack the intimacy that'd come from actually living here in and amongst the natives...
And you would be correct. I didn't see you setting any either concerning responses to your post.
I didn't but I also didn't circle back and say something like the below.

None the less, you asked how Richmond was tied to the NE and I provided one example. To me Richmond, VA is still Southern but I see how some folks tie it to the North.
