Virginia is the nothern most southern state and benefits from being in close proximity to DC.  However, the further away from the DC area you go the more "southern" it gets.  Not as socially backwards as Mississippi but none the less you still see the rebel flag in alot of locations and it is the home of Robert E Lee with 50 highschools baring his name sake.  Two stars for the beautiful atlantic coast line i.e. Virginia Beach and the DC suburbs other than no other redeemable qualities. Oh it is green lol
