Welcome to Southside Virginia

According Wikipedia, Southside Virginia is the area generally bounded by the James River to the North, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west and the South Hampton Roads area to the east. Most of Southside is gently rolling Piedmont and very rural. It is beautiful country and I sometimes think that I have stepped back in time to a kinder, gentler era where politeness counts and you still know your neighbors. Life is slower here and after moving from the fringes of Northern Virginia, I can see why people feel that it should be a different state.
