2. What Exactly Constitutes Northern Virginia?

Everything north of an east-west line passing through D.C.?

[autorank]

6. Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax Co -- & nothing else

...well maybe Eastern Loudoun Co.

[Sporadicus]

10. Thanks

I've wondered about that ever since reading Joe Bageant's stories, with lots of references to Winchester residents.

A good example:

14. Bagent is terrific!

Thanks for the link. Winchester is outside the Greater DC "prosperity zone" including No. VA, MD burbs of DC, and most of DC. Fun huh, we limit our prosperity to economic "hot zones" and then wonder why the rest of the country believes in "creationism" and *.

15. In Kentucky a Similar Situation Exists

The majority of new economic development in the state occurs within the 'Golden Triangle,' roughly bounded by Louisville, Northern Kentucky (KY's Cincinnati suburbs), and Lexington. The city where I live (well to the west of the Golden Triangle) has had a static population for over 20 years.

21. Pretty dumb way to run a country, huh. Our gov is changing that in VA

Warner, he really understands the issue (I'm a Clarkie but I like Warner a lot). We're named the best run state in the union and that's ALL John Warner (Gilmore, his predecessor, ran a Ken Lay style government).

[autorank]

12. No, DC, that's DC...river, Potomac to Fairfax border...no Prince William.

No Loudoun, except east Loudoun. Ffx, Arl, Alex. FC, and me.

9. What are you wearing?

[autorank]

11. My Democratic Underground Tee Shirt -- say it loud, say it proud

we'er here, we're obnoxious, get used to it.

16. Is the coffee any good?

I rate all public places solely on the quality of their coffee.

[autorank]

18. Coffee is great, New Guinea, Dutch Side. Thanks for asking.

[Beer Snob-50]

17. ARE YOU HAVING A NICE DANISH WITH YOUR BROWSING?

[autorank]

19. I had a chocolate - cream cheese brownie. Sugar high along with the

caffeine.

[Lars39]

22. Um...

Country mouse here! :)
I've always wondered how those work; do you pay a set fee for the access?
And how did you know it was an internet cafe?

[autorank]

23. I knew because it's where I get coffee before work. Bunch of people

sitting around on their computers. Some doing work, others having fun. If you go to Starbucks, at least around here, you have to join T-Mobile Hot something (not a cult, a cell service) and then you log on and use it for free. This place is an independent. You just haul out your laptop and connect, no charge. They beat the pants off of Starbucks with this competitive advantage. I don't go there often to use the internet, but when I do, it's cool, nice place, laid back...

[Lars39]

24. Oh, OK.

lol. I didn't think about laptops! I am such a luddite. :dunce: :D

[autorank]

26. You could probably take you desktop in (at least this place).

Luddite! cool, you probably don't have a Palm Pilot or equivalent?

Laptops are mandatory in No. VA:

[Lars39]

27. I've got a Sony Clie.

Can't function without it, so maybe I'm not a true luddite after all.
:)

[autorank]

28. Hmmm...PDA, I presume. Better than Palm. I need a new one

soon. As long as I can transfer my data, I'm golden. How do you like it.

[leftofthedial]

29. is No VA the new bushgang plan

for managing veterans affairs?

[autorank]

30. I'll spell it out from now on No. Virginia...I think you're right, BTW.
