First, the thread title is NoVA Picnic, not NoVA, Richmond, Roanoke, Danville, and Bristol.
Second, them people from Richmond get kinda uppity about NoVA being Yankee territory. Having our picnics up here tends to weed out those hypercritical personalities.
That is certainly true, but at least one well established reside of our state capital has expressed an interest in come up so I just thought I would throw that out. No harm done.
Yes few do "kinda uppity about NoVA being Yankee territory" but can you blame them. It is a true statement since this area has been infested with so many foreigners (read that as non-indigenous persons) that there are perhaps less than 25% of us who are natives and of those, many have been brainwashed with so much anti-Virginia and anti-South rhetoric that one would be hard put to count them as true Virginians. I have lived in the DC metro area for my entire life (67 years) and I have seen huge changes in the dynamics and demographics of this area. There are still a few of us who carry that spark in our chests. I am one and I'm sure a bunch more reside on these forums.
