I live in Northern Virginia and the state is worse than the basketball team right now. The basketball team has a special knack for blowing it in the tournament though.

I live in Shenandoah Valley about 30 minutes from Charlottesville. Virginia basketball exceeded expectations this year. Nobody expected UVa basketball to finish second in the ACC and advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

You wrote, "the state is worse than the basketball team right now." I'd argue the state is in trouble because of Northern Virginia.

I live in Loudoun County. Trust me I know. Western Loudoun is pretty beautiful though. I don’t know if I can continue to live here if it continues down its current trajectory.

Some of the best fried oysters I've ever enjoyed were prepared at a seafood joint in Arlington, VA. Aside from that, yeah...............Virginia sucks.

Scumberger lied to get elected then showed her true colors, like most Democrats do. Don`t know why people voted for her vs. a black female ex-military candidate.

I think the Republican Party could have put someone else forward who could have won. She is too polarizing and imo, the party as a whole needs to move away from that archetype. The groundwork was laid by Trump and needs a more diplomatic character.

Lol, Virginia does not suck. I live in Richmond, and have traveled all over the state for years. Northern VA does in fact suck (except old town Alexandria), but the rest of the state is beautiful and has much to offer. Although, in NOVA, you won’t find the amount of amazing ethnic food anywhere else, outside of NYC or LA. The interior of the state has gorgeous wineries, tons of charming historic places, amazing restaurants and beautiful scenery. Virginia has beaches, mountains, rivers, and all four seasons. I would argue that Albamarle County is the most beautiful area in the fall, in the entire US. VA beach makes Myrtle Beach look like a meth cesspool. Williamsburg/Jamestown/Yorktown area is beautiful, w history and scenery. Some of the best oysters on the planet come from the Rappahannock area. The Chesapeake Bay is beautiful as seen from soooo many cool coastal towns. You guys are sleeping on Virginia.

I don’t think anyone will really hate on the geography and attractions in Virginia. This thread sort of had a different rhetoric.
