I'm debating between Richmond and Norfolk, but picked Richmond.

Difficult because I don't really associate any one city with Virginia. I voted Richmond because it's the capital and one of the few cities in VA I had heard of before I lived in VA.

Virginia Beach would be second.

Lol Murk you beat me to creating this thread. I would say Richmond or Va Beach are two of the most well known cities associated with VA. I would also add that I have found Hampton, VA to be fairly well known due to the university. I believe Richmond is quintessential Virginia, overall, and combines the characteristics of some of the main Virginia cities (Norfolk, Charlottesville, Alexandria, etc).

Richmond wins this one easily. But I prefer the beach and Hampton roads.

DC is not in Virginia. It is like saying New York City is in New Jersey honey. I voted Richmond. Its a fine place. But nothing to brag about.

The Grand Canyon is associated to Colorado despite being in Arizona. You see some rare cases like this.

But I agree. It’s easily richmond.
