you can draw whatever line you want, it's just not.. the closest southern city is richmond and that's even teetering, but still has it
a statue doesn't mean anything, a highway name doesn't mean anything, and does the holocaust museum make it a jewish city?

You probably didn't hear the uproar when they put up an Arthur Ash statue. Some felt it was wrong to put him next to people who got shot and killed.
It's getting like that everywhere including the South. NOVA is about as southern as a Philly cheese steak. Miami and Atlanta aren't that Southern either.
Suburbia has no style for better or worst IMO. I don't know why there is a Holocaust museum in Richmond. I think a better place for it would be . . . . Berlin. But hey, it takes all kinds.
I had a friend of mine who was a St.Louis fan. He went to all of the games. He hated going up North to see a game. The people were terrible, drunk, and rude. He said when he went to see a Panther's game that the people were real nice and even bought him beer.
I've never been to a Redskins game but I'm planning on going to the Cowpuke's game this season. I'll give the Cowboy's fans a little shit but overall I'll conduct myself like a gentleman. Call it Southern, call it Virginian, it doesn't really matter. I think of it as self-respect.
