The size and geographical diversity of VA is the most notable thing I noticed when I moved to the state about 15 yrs ago. From entering VA from DC down to the TN state line is about a 6 hr drive. The differences between the regions of the state are enormous.
Funny ... my mom lived in VA her entire life (she grew up in the Charlottesville area and moved to Waynesboro when she married my dad back in the 60s) and she till her death (2018) said "Stawn-ton" not "Stan-ton". I've never met anyone else who pronounced it that way ... from VA that is. I have no idea where she got that from or why she refused to change when people looked at her funny or corrected her. She was a trooper about saying Stawn-ton!
You're a great orator! Try pronouncing Mcgaheysville. Jazz in the park is great in my estimation. If ya grew up on the east coast, one thing ya can really miss out west is deciduous trees. Another big draw is motorcycle riding in the GWNF. Costco has Virginia peanuts. Fall also means winter is near so my favorite is spring. Nice video. Blessings!
Seasons are great but the humidity in summer is a killer!
Thanks for the informations 🌹
You're welcome!
