It's really only Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria and possibly Prince William that reflect badly on NOVA.
Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...

What Virginia has become since I graduated high school, just makes me cry....
but just about anywhere in the country is ruined in today's world, compared to what many
of us remember.. who are in our 50s and 60s...
I haven't lived in Va for 48 years now..but its still always been and always will be my home state..
17th generation and a pride in your family history and the history of the place where you are from
will do that to you...
makes me wonder how many of Virginia native campfire members I might be distantly related to...
a lot of places mentioned I have family roots in...
especially if anyone has a last name of Meadows or Lilly.. or knows any.. I'd be related to them..
Meadows and Lillys both go back to before the Mayflower Showed up at Plymouth Rock..
both family roots were within Virginia before 1620....
have ancestors who where there early, and had LOTS of kids...

All the good country folk on the other end of the state have a useless vote. That's not exactly true. My inlaws in Roanoke always have and always will vote for the Democrat. It started with Roosevelt and they just can't accept that their party isn't what it was and that it's no longer "looking out for the working man".

I saw a map of Obama's last election. 90% of the state was red, but the blue in NOVA and Tidewater was enough to make it for Obama. Not sure with the last election how much was red, but still went for Hillary.

I know having that idiot Kaine helped her cause. I'm thankful every day that he isn't the Vice President.

From VA originally but moved away in 1992. Might move back one of these days. Went to school in Harrisonburg and spent a lot of time west and southwest of there, screwing around, hunting and fishing in the mtns. Been back a few times to hunt and visit, our youngest went to VA Tech and met a girl from Pulaski so we'll have relatives there soon. Harrisonburg high or JMU? What years?

JMU. When I started it was still Madison College, 1976.

I am from the very northern tip of Virginia. Spent about half my life west of here in eastern West Virginia. I was able to live ther an$ raise my family. What used to be a rural, farming area is now mostly developments.
