Winchester is wonderful precisely because it is not part of NoVa -- it's more like the "real" Virginia as some politician got into trouble a few years ago for saying. But it is true--NoVa and the rest of Virginia are very dissimilar. NoVa is mid-Atlantic and the rest of Virginia, including Winchester, is more Southern.
Semantics. I still think Winchester is an excellent community in which to reside, even if it's in the Northern Shenandoah Valley or Northwestern Virginia instead of NoVA. When my depression was at its worst I made weekly pilgrimages out to Winchester just to immerse myself in the city for hours walking around and trying to garner a sense of soul and community that was sorely lacking in Fairfax County. I miss Winchester---a lot. I'm so envious of South Jersey Styx for not only living there but also living right in the historic district. I hope you realize just how lucky you are.
