Sometimes I forget Richmond is the South too, mainly bc I’ve lived in SC which definitely feels more culturally Southern than Richmond. Richmond is very unique in that it seems to be a mixture of a lot of places. Every now and then, something does remind me, that yes, this still is the South. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a Philly transplant I try to make it as “Sunny”down here as well, which is fitting since Philly is now the capitol of “where bad things happen” for the segment you’re referring to.

This isn't a southern thing. I just drove through Indiana and these kinds of billboards are everywhere, along with tons of anti-abortion billboards

True! I’m from the Midwest originally and there is plenty of stuff like that there! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But Richmond definitely seems less Southern than it was in SC. And I mean, in regards to the food and the way people talk and such!

I agree with your first sentence. Not sure why you added the second sentence, which unexpectedly seems to confirm the geographic nature of the south.

I mean once you get to Fredericksburg there's no more sweet tea.
