That whole Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's county area reminds me of Alabama.


You can't be serious. The southern Maryland region reminds you of the whole state of Alabama? I can't even put into words how rediculous this sounds lol. I'm just a Marylander, not a southerner.

No more ridiculous than some people claiming that Maryland being a non-Southern Northern State..........

I agree if it was native.
The native habitat range for Magnolia grandiflora or the southern Magnolia.





Magnolia Virginiana on the other hand stretches to long island.

Well for one its mostly rural, people talk with southern accents and there is southern culture. Wal marts down there are practically nightclubs.

There was a huge Magnolia on my neighbor's property in Westchester County, NY. It was cut down a few years ago so New York State is the South, no more.

Seriously, I loved climbing that tree and the blossoms were magnificent.

Im from southeast VA. Virginia Beach. I would consider myself southern but really I can relate to either side of the fence.

To me:
Most of Central + Westside VA = Southern
Richmond, C-ville, Hampton Roads = Southern/transitioning to Mid Atlantic

Northern VA = Mid Atlantic (influences of South East + North East)

Also to the original op, im curious why do you want to know if Virginia is northern or southern?? Are you a Virginia resident not sure of your cultural identity? Are you from another state and just interested? Or are you from Nova/DC/MD and think your better than us (sorry I had to go there! , no jus j/k I like you guys)??
