I haven't, which is why you shouldn't take too much stock in what I have to say...I'm just a foreigner who's too obsessed with America! Well hopefully I'll make it sometime this year and I can make a proper assessment.
You fail to understand. Virginia is in the Upper South. Yes, it is closer to the North. I GET IT !!!!!!
However, its still a Southern state. It has been the birthlace of the South since Jamestown.
Richmond is a city that is very Southern- culturally.
Do you think Maine is not really New England simply because its on top?
I think you are maybe saying something to get on my craw
If you love southern cultural and are arguing for Richmond's behalf as being very southern, why dont you move to Birmingham, AL or Jackson, MS because you sure as hell don't have to argue whether or not those places are culturally southern.

I agree. And I would say that Jackson, MS and Birmingham are more Southern than even Richmond!
My lord. When will we just agree to disagree? This argument will never end, why keep it going? In my opinion the South is not one big bland area where everything is the same. I have said it before and I'll say it again, the South has many facets, each one as beautiful as the other!
I do not think Virginia is southern. There is a certain way of acting and interacting that is "distinctly southern" to me and I do not see this in big cities like DC, Richmond, and Virginia Beach etc. Atlanta feels southern because of the area around it but you do not see the same thing in Virginia because the lifestyle is so northern. When I was last in VA I was suprised to see so much northern architecture and people just didn't seem southern!

I doubt HOU AND DAL are more southern than ATL,BHAM,an CHARLOTTE.
I agree. If you're going to put Atlanta at 5 (which I think it's toooooo low for Atlanta anyway), Houston and Dallas would be at least at 3 or 4. Atlanta is much more Southern than both these cities and that's not to say Houston and Dallas are not Southern.
I think Houston and Dallas could easily be 4 in the next 5-10 years and NOVA could be 2 in that same time span.
