3. I knew a guy from Loudon (mid 80's) when it was still very rural
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 04:23 PM by underpants
now apparently it is not.

PM me and I will tell you his one-of-a-kind nickname, if you have ever met him you will remember the name.

5. Fastest growing county in the country.
Did not know that before moving here. Fauquier Co.(just south of here) is the third fastest.

4. Ah hell, you ain't seen nothing
Come on out here to Mid Mo, where Callaway County finally rejoined the Union about ten years ago. Of course judging from the Confederate flags flying around, there are still some who are holding out.

6. I thought the Culpeper area was the worst. My relatives there are in deep
red s--t. Bible-thumper-hypocrites. A restaraunt in Culpeper is called Dee Dee's and their menu says "Cookin' for Jesus".

9. No way, man.
Live in the isolation of Shenandoah Co. for a few years; trapped in a tiny valley. You'll chew off your own arm and then walk on your bare feet to get back to Loudon. After all, it IS closer to No. VA; so some of them thar city slicker ways have to have rubbed off. Shoot--I bet most of 'em up 'ere in Loudon don't even use the "N" word anymore!

15. That is funny. We prefer the isolation.
We are looking at Highland Co. on the WV border or just leaving Va all together.

17. Lamar County Mississippi gave Bush almost 81% of its vote in 2004
Rankin county gave him 79%. You can't get much redder than that.

If you want to check any particular county's '04 vote, here's the link...

19. I visited Virginia once, and feared for my life!
It was on business. The taxi driver who drove me to Charlottesville from the airport was a real rightwing nutcase. He just kept talking and talking, raging and raging. I just stared out the window watching the scenery go by, offering up an occasional "Umph" to placate him. Then when he started demanding whether I agreed with him or not I began to sweat. It was a very dark, very lonely long road we were on. I only mumbled "I dunno, really" and kept staring out the window. Boy, was that a LONG old ride from the airport.

Charlottesville was lovely though. Nice university types moaning about how they're a liberal bastion surrounded on all sides by the cretins and how their little safe haven was long ago gerrymadered into tiny, powerless pieces.
