I lived for 45 years in a house that sported a view of Virginia from the upper deck. I have lived for 79 years south of the Mason-Dixon line, 76 of those years in the most liberal county in the United States. I'm not at all proud of that.

What county is that?

I resided in Virginia nearly 15 years and miss it.

I do believe if I was to move from the Old Dominion and still live in the USA , South Carolina might just be my first choice

With the exception of Atlanta, Georgia is about as good as it gets, IMHO. To paraphrase Phil Sheridan, if I owned Atlanta and Hell, I’d rent out Atlanta and live in Hell.

Ian, it is Montgomery County, Maryland, reputed to be the most liberal county in the US. Ugh!

I worked in that county 1995 to 2004. I’m surprised that it’s that way now, I thought that distinction would go to a New England, New York, or California county.

I always lived in Virginia those years, however.

Liberalism is the downfall of this country but so many fail to realize it.

I was born and raised in Montgomery County - it is shocking how things have changed. Especially the landscape from Gaithersburg headed north. MoCo school system policies (and politics) have become nothing short of insane.

Bill Murphy - I haven’t laid my eyes on Butlers Orchard for yrs..I hope that portion of 355 hasn’t been overrun by ‘new construction’.
