Northerners say that Northern VA is the South. Southerners say that Northern VA is in the North. Virginians say it is "NOVA" and is just part of the DC metro area as well as a disgusting travesty. People from Northern VA say it is its own state, a separate entity.

No matter if you love or hate Robert E.
