Rooster, I was in Charlottesville today and felt like I was in a foreign country. I remember going up there in 2002 to watch us play and it still felt Southern. Today English was a second language for many of the students and every other sign on campus was about black trans women. Wtf has happened to the Commonwealth? The highlight today was the truffle fries at Boylan Heights and the drive down VA 231 back to Gordonsville.

I know what you mean about Charlottesville. I remember when the wife and I took our Son up for either a regional or super regional and we were shocked by what it was already becoming then .... can't imagine now.

I also know all those folks down in the Shenandoah Valley right across the Tennessee and NC borders are already up in arms about the reciprocity laws being yanked out from under their feet because of their own state politicians when they go into the tried cities area to shop.

When we are at our house up there out and about we are always running into Virginians ready to go to war against their Northern Virginia masters.

I actually have liberal friends in Arlington and Alexandria and even they are now saying things have gone too far up there.

All your apple farmers are also in an uproar because they are being taxed out of their family farms to make room for more subdivisions.

It's a stewing kettle up there in that state for sure. AMD then you add in the mess that Richmond is fast becoming (although I love some of their micro breweries and restaurants) and it's only a matter of time before something like attempted confiscation lights a fuse.
