60. We don't talk about West Virginia. We don't talk about West Virginia. We DO NOT talk about West Virginia.

I know this breaks the "we're not talking about it" rule, here, but this is a sentiment I've heard a TON from people I know who live in Virginia. So I ask as an innocent Canadian: what is West Virginia's deal?

West Virginians are generally frowned upon by most of us regular VA-ers. Its like that one person in the family you would rather not talk about. According to us, West Virginia is actually where "the South" begins. They have the accents and the mannerisms. They are also the targets of the "I married my cousin" stereotype. Even the commercials are country. (i.e. "West Virginia, wild n' wonderful") Now, that isn't to say we don't like going there, its pretty. We just don't like to be associated with our 'hick' counterparts.

The closer you get, the weirder the people and the heavier the accents. Most people here don't have the accent unless you live way out in farmland type VA/West VA.

LOL. I even went to Camp in West VA, and no one there was actually FROM WestVA. XD

this is funny! A lot of the entries up there apply for where I live (maryland- we're practically neighbors!) too. Especially the driving. I have no idea how I'm still in one piece- even the road to the grocery store is fraught with innumerable perils!!!

and lol. If you ever find out where/what Midgetville is, please pass the information along, kay?
