West Virginia 

The 35th State admitted to the United States (on June 20, 1863). Its residents had petitioned for secession from Virginia in order to ally with the North in the American Civil War. President Lincoln signed it into statehood on the above date.

It is currently a state with a terrible economy based on coal and tourism. In terms of tourism, though, it has more to offer than one might expect.

Its electoral votes had gone to the Democratic candidate for decades prior to the 2000 election, and it has had two Democratic Senators and a Democrat as Governor for quite some time as well...so don't call it a "red state." That only proves that you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

For a quick, easy map of West Virginia, flip yourself off with your left hand. Extend your thumb to the side for the eastern panhandle. For slightly more accuracy, unfold one knuckle of your index finger.
I might have to drive through West Virginia this weekend.

Southern Virginia 

Southern Virginia is the best place in the world. Known for its beautiful {southern belles}, Southern Virginia is an amazing place to be. We know the true meaning of southern hospitality and the men certainly know how to treat the ladies. And for Northern Virginia...you too were part of the Confederacy :) We are the only reason YOU seem somewhat of a nice place...
"The people from Northern Virginia are a disgrace to southern hospitality."

Northern Virginia 

The area of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with about 3 million people or so next to Washington DC, that should to do the rest of Virginia a favor and seceed to Maryland. It's an urban hell on earth and the epitome of urban sprawl gone ammock. Unlike the rest of Virginia, it is generally liberal, highly diverse, highly urbanized, a ridiculous cost of living, has ungodly traffic congestion, too much urban sprawl, a highly skilled and young workforce, and too many arrogant yuppies who live close to DC. The most jobs are in the Federal Government, high-tech firms, healthcare, law, and communications. Asians and Hispanics live everywhere. As much as Northern Virginia sucks, the best places to live are in Centerville, Chantilly and Leesburg. The people are very materialistic, fake, shallow, stuck up and think the country revolves around them. There is a megamall called Tyson’s Corner near the 495 Beltway that only rich people are allowed to patronize, and the regular middle-class ilk are mocked. The people are up in the clouds and often forget they are SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon line and part of the old Confederacy. It is northern Virginia that gives the state a bad name.
Northern Virginia should do the rest of the Commonwealth a favor and become Maryland. I lived there for a year about 3 years ago and hated everything about it.

Northern Virginia 

A region adjacent to Virginia close to Washington, DC. Residents are extremely diverse socioeconomically. Cultural resources are generally more accessible closer to Washington, in Arlington and the City of Alexandria. Areas further away, such as Loudon, consist mainly of suburban subdivisions. Residents generally do not consider themselves from the South, and will never say they are from Virginia.
I'm not from Virginia, I'm from Northern Virginia.

Southern Virginia 

The start of the south!!! The place where a lot of people like to visit because of it's history. Virginia was apart of the confederacy, and even though we lost the civil war, we're still proud of what the MAIN reasons of what it stood for (note i said main and slavery was NOT a main reason look it up). Also a place where Northern Virginia thinks is helping out a lot, when in fact it is not. Southern Virginia is a hot spot for the military, "top secret" jobs, and tourism (honestly how many people go to Northern Virginia to NOT go to DC....???) You say you're from Southern Virginia and people know that you know what etiquette is and not just some red neck (like most Northern Virginians say and/or think). Southern belles and gentlemen are of abundance!!! We have country accents and proud of them!!!
1: Hi, where are you from??
2: I'm from Southern Virginia, thank you for asking.
1: Wow, I'm surprised for that "thank you for asking".
2: Doesn't everyone say that??
