When did you live in Loudoun? Its very, very changed from what it used to be. My grandmother makes Sweet Tea, southern style apparently. But she doesn't consider herself Southern. She lives in MD. If you grew up in nova a long time ago, you would be southern. But now? No way jose
I am 29 years old. So it wasnt that long ago, lol. My parents are from Richmond, though. My mother called Loudoun "Occupied Virginia"
You're right Houston is nothing like Richmond, Charleston, or Savannah. But it is nothing like Phoenix, Denver, or Albuqurque (sp). It is not Southwestern and many from the Southwest will tell you that. Many Texans may did tell you they aren't Southerners. They will also tell you they aren't Westerners. They WILL tell you they are Texans. But most Texans identify themselves as Southerners. Houston has alot in common with New Orleans and Memphis but that's about it.
DC isn't that much different than Baltimore. I have a map of the Northeast and DC is where it starts as well. NOBODY in the heart of the southeast would consider DC a Southeastern city. Nobody.
Oh really? I know a lady from Georgia who called DC a Southern Country town. Of course she said that about how it was in the 1950s.

yeah and times changed. Maybe I shouldn't say NOBODY because I shouldn't speak for all Southerners. But most people that identify what the South means and is to them would not classify DC as a Southern city. It has characteristics there. But there is also Northern characteristics as well.
VASINGER LOL! Dude, these old a$$ maps are truely archiac. DC has all of the characteristics of a NE city. I love this part:
Density - On par with Philly & Boston with more than 9500 ppsm
Weather - DC's weather is just like Baltimore & Philly -NYC did not get hardly any snow last winter.
Transportation - Second largest subway ridership behind NYC with more than 850,000 riders a day. What southern cities have transportation numbers like this?
Large Downtown Core - Third largest DT is the USA behind NYC & Chicago
Architecture - DC, Baltimore, Philly, Boston, (rowhomes)
Fast Paced - DC is more fast paced than Baltimore, Boston and Philly
Cosmopolitan - More like Atlanta or NYC?
in the last ten years, theres been a dramatic, DRAMATIC change in the entire DC area.
And Oh yea! Welcome back Vasigner!
Who is VASINGER?
Oh BTW- Having been to Atlanta- I would say DC is more Southern than Atlanta, lol.
Nothing Southern about "Hotlanta" .
