I'm still not quite convinced. Richmond is closer to DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and New York (all very Northern cities) than it is to Atlanta, Vicksburg, Montgomery, New Orleans, and Savannah -- all quintessentially Southern cities.
Kudzu (originally a Japanese imported species NOT NATIVE to the South) is now in New England:
IPANE - Catalog of Species Search Results (http://nbii-nin.ciesin.columbia.edu/ipane/icat/browse.do?specieId=23 - broken link)
the vine that ate the south. There is a gentleman that has a herd of goats for hire that travels throughout the south..... the goats apparently love kudzu, wish I could remember where I read it.

Those cities are in the Deep South
Richmond is 75 mi from NC. Richmond is 100 miles from DC.
DC is BELOW the Mason Dixon line.
IM TALKING CULTURALLY here. Geographically, Richmond is an Upper South city. Its not in the Deep South.
Richmond is closer to Savannah, GA than it is to Atlanta. SAVANNAH IS SOUTH OF ATLANTA!!!!!!
Yes, I do agree Oxford is more Southern than Richmond. But this clown is trying to say Richmond is a Northern city. I'm sorry but that is BLASPHEMY!
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.

Methinks that perhaps his lack of manners belies a non-Southern heritage?
