I'm just stating my OPINION just like you are stating your OPINION.
Aesthetically, Richmond's density, location along a river and I-95, close proximity to New York, location along the rain/snow line and industrial grittiness give it a rather Northern flavor than true Southern cities like Savannah, Atlanta, Charleston and New Orleans.
No it does not . And I'm sure many will agree with me.
Atlanta is much much more like a NE city than Richmond is.
Richmond is not THAT dense. Sure it does have some buildings here and there. But that does not make it Northern. You have obviously never been ton Monument Ave. You havent been to the White House of the Confederacy
You can look on the map and see that Richmond is well below the Mason Dixon line. It does not have a "Northern" flavor
The only Northern flavor are the tourists we get complaining about how slow we are , lol.
And please, Richmond is not 5 hours from NYC. It is at least 7. I know because I drive pretty fast.
Then how would you know what is truly Southern, if you're not even a Southerner from the USA?
My ancestors have lived in this country since the late 1800s. I've lived in Atlanta. I've lived in South Carolina. These two distinctly SOUTHERN areas give me more than enough ammo to KNOW what I'm talking about.

But Richmond is a very Southern city . Just because its not in the Deep South does not make it less so. It has cultural, history that is South. OLD South. You obviously are making some sort of twisted sick joke aboot Richmond.
Old Time Richmonders are strikingly similar to Savannias and Charleston people.

That is the difference in Richmond to me, its history as a city of importance in colonial times much like Savannah and Charleston. This does give it a different feel to southern cities that sprung up after independence.
Agreed, most of the Southern 'boom towns' are not as 'southern' as the smaller cities. I would list in no particular order:
Mobile, AL
Montgomery, AL
BIrmingham, AL
Savannah, GA
Augusta, GA
Macon, GA
Columbia, SC
Charleston, SC
Greensboro, NC
Wilmington, NC
Jackson, MS
Memphis, TN
Chattanooga, TN
Baton Rouge, LA
Pensacola, FL
Tallahassee, FL
Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, FL? Really? I live there now, and am trying desperately to get out of this big city and move to Savannah!!!
