I've lived at Ft. Story in Virginia Beach for a while. In general, I have to say fuck Virginia. Too many racists Cacs. It's the only state I've ever lived in where Cac's drive around openly flying the Southern flag. When I was there, every time I saw a tree I couldn't help but wonder if any of our ancestors were hung on it.
In Virginia Beach the police would arrest you for cursing. Moreover, woman weren't allowed to wear thongs, or G-Strings. So, while I can understand how a resident could be proud to be from there, I will never live there again.

Yo Tuck, my fellow Redskins fan, I respect your state but as a Marylander, I would have to say fuck VA drivers! 
Y'all slow snails stay hogging the left lane going 10 below the speed limit. Oh, and when are y'all going to finish that "mega project"? Damn, it's a hassle driving the VA side of 495.
Other than that, hail to the Redskins!

NOVA is nice (congested traffic like a mug sometimes) but nice none the less.
One of the nicest areas in the country.
Man I thought I was the only one. As a Marylander myself, I DREAD driving in VA. I coach clinics weekly down there and I'm always ready to brake unexpectedly or be pulled over for some asinine reason the moment I cross the GW bridge.Yo Tuck, my fellow Redskins fan, I respect your state but as a Marylander, I would have to say fuck VA drivers!

AS A CURRENT RESIDENT OF VIRGINIA I HAVE TO SAY THIS FUCKING STATE SUCKS. I'VE UNFORTUNATELY BEEN HERE GOING ON SIX YEARS. THIS STATE IS SO OVER HYPED ITS RIDICULOUS. RICHMOND, NORFOLK, VA BEACH, SUFFOLK, PORTSMOUTH, AND "BAD NEWS"
AND BEFORE ANY OF YALL SAY ANYTHING, IM IN THE MILITARY AND BEING HELD HERE AGAINST MY WILL. I'VE TRIED TO GET ORDERS ELSEWHERE AND THEY WONT LET ME LEAVE. IF I COULD LEAVE I WOULD.
I knew my city was gonna be on that list.
Charlottesville, colloquially C'ville and formally the City of Charlottesville, is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 48,210.[3] It is the county seatof Albemarle County, which surrounds the city, though the two are separate legal entities.[4]This means a Charlottesville resident will list the City of Charlottesville as both their county and city on official paperwork. Charlottesville has eighteen distinctive neighborhoods. It is named after the British Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines the City of Charlottesville with the County of Albemarle for statistical purposes, bringing its steadily growing population to approximately 150,000. Charlottesville is the heart of the Charlottesville metropolitan area, which includes Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene and Nelson counties.
The city of Charlottesville has an overall crime rate higher than the national average, which tends to be a typical pattern for urban areas of the Southern United States.[34][35]
The total crime index for Charlottesville was 487.9 crimes committed per 100,000 citizens for the year of 2006, the national average for the United States was 320.9 crimes committed per 100,000 citizens.[36] For the year of 2006, Charlottesville ranked higher on all violent crimes except for robbery, the city ranked lower in all categories of property crimes except for larceny theft.[37] As of 2008, there was a total of 202 reported violent crimes, and 1,976 property crimes.
Charlottesville officials: 1 dead, 19 injured after crash near 'Unite the Right' rally
One person was killed and 19 were hurt when a speeding car slammed into another car that was navigating through a throng of counterprotesters in Charlottesville, where a "Unite the Right" rally of white nationalist and other right-wing groups was to take place, the city tweeted on its verified account.
"I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here. I urge all people of good will -- go home," Mayor Mike Signer wrote on Twitter.
The city added that there were 15 other injuries associated with the scheduled rally.
Virginia's governor had earlier declared an emergency, and police worked to disperse hundreds of protesters in the college town after clashes broke out ahead of the rally's scheduled noon ET start.
Fistfights and screaming matches erupted Saturday, barely 12 hours after a scuffle Friday night at the nearby University of Virginia between torch-bearing demonstrators and counterprotesters.
Saturday's rally was the latest event drawing white nationalists and right-wing activists from across the country to this Democratic-voting town -- a development precipitated by the city's decision to remove symbols of its Confederate past.
Here are the latest developments:
• Seven people were being treated at Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital, spokeswoman Jen Downs said. Downs didn't have word on their conditions.
State police had said pedestrians were struck Saturday in a three-vehicle crash.
Video of the incident shows a gray Dodge Challenger driving quickly down a narrow side street lined with walking protesters. The sports car rams into the back of a silver convertible, which hits the van in front of it. Soon the Dodge driver slams the car in reverse, going back up the street at a high rate of speed, dragging its front bumper. Several people chase the car. As the sports car retreats, a red athletic shoe falls off the bumper.
• President Donald Trump told reporters: "We are closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It has been going on for a long time in our country -- not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. It has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America."
• Police began to break up crowds shortly before noon, after city officials declared the gathering an "unlawful assembly." Police officers spoke on bullhorns, directing people to leave.
• The declaration was made after fistfights and screaming matches erupted in several locations late Saturday morning.
• Some protesters fired pepper spray at other demonstrators, state police said.
• Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency "to aid state response to violence," according to a post on his Twitter account.

Gov. Northam orders all Virginia schools closed for 2 weeks
Gov. Ralph Northam on Friday ordered all schools in Virginia to close for at least two weeks to limit the spread of coronavirus.
The announcement comes a day after state officials said they were leaving the decision of closing up to superintendents, in consultation with local health departments. Other states, including neighboring Maryland, are also closing schools.
“I recognize this will pose a hardship on many families, but closing our schools for two weeks will not only give our staff time to clean and disinfect school facilities, it will help slow the spread of this virus," Northam said in a statement. “This is a fluid and fast-changing situation. We will do everything possible to ensure that students who rely on school nutrition programs continue to have access to meals, and that the disruption to academics is as minimal as possible.”
Hampton Roads school systems have been weighing closures for days, trying to balance the effect of such a decision on students and families with the need for public health measures to contain the spread of the virus. Closing schools will have ripple effects throughout the community, as parents, including many frontline healthcare workers, scramble to find childcare. Schools are also a source of meals, health care and stability for thousands of local children.
Schools will be closed starting Monday until at least March 27, Northam said. A governor-ordered closing of schools is unprecedented and follows his Thursday declaration of a state of emergency.
It’s still on local school districts to maintain continuity of services or learning, Northam said. Exactly what that will look like is unknown — most Hampton Roads school districts had planned to turn Monday into a teacher workday expressly to design plans for remote learning. State officials said they will give “maximum flexibility” to school districts.
“We are committed to help divisions address all the implications of these closures and will seek to provide each division with maximum flexibility to address local needs as they arise, especially as it relates to make-up days,” said James Lane, the state superintendent.
A Norfolk schools spokeswoman, Kathy O’Hara, said districts didn’t get any advance notice of the governor’s order and were rearranging the district’s plans to make it work. The district was one of several that planned to close Monday for a workday so that teachers could prepare for the possibility of remote learning. This week, administrators had been working on packets to send home with students with lessons they could work on from home even without internet access. They weren’t expected to be completed until Monday, though.
“Now we’ll deal with the new circumstances,” O’Hara said.
Norfolk’s top priority — and a concern that will be shared by all school districts — was figuring out meals for students who rely on school breakfasts and lunches. Over 70% of the district’s nearly 30,000 students receive free meals.
O’Hara said she’s not sure what the announcement will mean for employees and whether they’ll be paid. That’s another logistical detail being worked out.
Cherise Newsome, president of the Norfolk Council of PTAs, said she applauds Gov. Northam for trying to keep children safe and healthy, but these two weeks will be difficult for some families.
"This is unprecedented and unexpected, but there are also consequences for such a big move,” she said.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to announce removal of Richmond’s Robert E. Lee statue
Plan is for statue to be placed into storage

RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is expected to announce plans Thursday for the removal of an iconic statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from Richmond's prominent Monument Avenue, a senior administration official told The Associated Press.
The governor will direct the statue to be moved off its massive pedestal and put into storage while his administration seeks input on a new location, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak before the governor's announcement.
Gov. Northam is expected to make this announcement at 11 a.m. Thursday. You can watch that on WSLS 10 or here on WSLS.com
The move comes amid turmoil across the nation and around the world over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a Minneapolis officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for several minutes, even after he stopped moving.
Floyd’s death has sparked outrage over issues of racism and police brutality and prompted a new wave of Confederate memorial removals in which even some of their longtime defenders have decided to remove them.
The Lee statue is one of five Confederate monuments along Monument Avenue, a prestigious residential street and National Historic Landmark district in Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy. It has been the target of graffiti during protests in recent days over Floyd's death, including messages that say "end police brutality" and "stop white supremacy."
It was not immediately clear when the statue would be removed.
Other tragedies in recent years have prompted similar nationwide soul searching over Confederate monuments, which some people regard as inappropriate tributes to the South's slave-holding past. Others compare monument removals to erasing history.
Confederate memorials began coming down after a white supremacist killed nine black people at a Bible study in a church in South Carolina in 2015 and then again after a violent rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville in 2017.
The Lee monument was erected in 1890, decades after the end of the Civil War.

He needs to order them ALL taken down ... he is after all the Governor of the WHOLE state and not just Richmond. Put them in storage, put them in museums or put them in Confederate graveyard sites. But they shouldn't be set all around the state out on display like a big middle finger to Black people who live in VA and Black tourists who visit VA.
