actually Alexandria is NoVA and had good turnout

2018-08-02 00:34:01 UTC  

i think its more they just vote for whoevers already in

2018-08-02 00:34:13 UTC  

That's how most places work.

2018-08-02 00:34:18 UTC  

yea

2018-08-02 00:34:27 UTC  

its both good and bad

2018-08-02 00:35:27 UTC  

Alexandria is where I found said bourgie.

2018-08-02 00:35:37 UTC  

She kinda just assumed I was DSA I think.

2018-08-02 00:35:39 UTC  

actually it was a precinct that had no turn out not County

2018-08-02 00:35:46 UTC  

Which was odd because it was s defense contractor.

2018-08-02 00:36:04 UTC  

yea Alexandria and part of FairFax

2018-08-02 00:36:28 UTC  

the further away you get the less bourgie

2018-08-02 00:37:43 UTC  

I should apologize if I'm being a bit bombastic or something.

2018-08-02 00:38:20 UTC  

Tidewater is best known for the Historic Triangle (Yorktown, Jamestown, Williamsburg), New Port News Shipbuilding, Langley Airforce Base, and Norfolk Naval Base.

2018-08-02 00:38:29 UTC  

your good

2018-08-02 00:38:46 UTC  

Yeah, I just kinda assumed you were around Norfolk.

2018-08-02 00:39:05 UTC  

When I was looking at VA I would have been working somewhere along the far end of NoVA.

2018-08-02 00:39:17 UTC  

York actually

2018-08-02 00:39:29 UTC  

Much preferred it to MD. MD seemed pretentious and just like NYC in alot of ways.

2018-08-02 00:39:44 UTC  

Norfolks a traffic shithole i tend to avoid

2018-08-02 00:39:52 UTC  

VA Beach is a tourist trap

2018-08-02 00:40:15 UTC  

Fair. Would totally agree.

2018-08-02 00:40:19 UTC  

Historic Triangle only goes appreciated by those who actually care about our history

2018-08-02 00:40:49 UTC  

Yeah. I feel it's getting forgotten and overwritten though.

2018-08-02 00:41:02 UTC  

XD im canadian and ive heard of those towns

2018-08-02 00:41:05 UTC  

its more just ignored

2018-08-02 00:41:06 UTC  

I remember going to Fairfax Courthouse and the stuff around there last time I was in VA.

2018-08-02 00:41:13 UTC  

but i do just get a hard on for history in general

2018-08-02 00:41:20 UTC  

especially if war was involved

2018-08-02 00:41:26 UTC  

it still gets funding and stuff but its not really talked about

2018-08-02 00:41:27 UTC  

It felt like they were struggling to maintain a traditional history.

2018-08-02 00:41:32 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-08-02 00:41:52 UTC  

And if Fairfax is struggling, Jamestown and Yorktown would be completely forgotten.

2018-08-02 00:42:01 UTC  

they got a new visitors center at Yorktown

2018-08-02 00:42:15 UTC  

so something seems to be working

2018-08-02 00:42:23 UTC  

How is it?

2018-08-02 00:42:38 UTC  

I think they have some dedicated donners or something

2018-08-02 00:42:39 UTC  

I've seen alot of these visitor centers that really aren't that good.

2018-08-02 00:42:45 UTC  

tbh i havent been in the new one

2018-08-02 00:42:53 UTC  

havent had time

2018-08-02 00:42:56 UTC  

hm.

2018-08-02 00:43:10 UTC  

i think they still have the old one too lol
