Loved living in NoVa (mainly living on beltway/gov't jobs) and traveling into the mountains. The valleys and red soil country were "interesting". Lots of gentrification going on which also build resentments.

Edited to add that damned missing Oxford Comma in the title:
Was "... one half educated and liberal and 60 percent confused"
Now "...one half educated and liberal, and 60 percent confused"

I don't think I've ever detected my own mistake making mistakes...
But, all swell that endswell.
