  • Entering Commonwealth of Virginia on I-95 and heading south to North Carolina.
    Radar Detectors illegal in Virginia.
    Excellent road infrastructure, I-95 in great condition, speed limit varies from 55 mph to 70 mph.
    In general, a pretty smooth drive on I-95 Virginia.
    Beautiful historic state to visit.
    Lots of Civil War and Confederate historic sites throughout State of Virginia.
    Drive safely.

      Maybe it's all about its very leftist politics especially since 2008.
      www.270towin.com/states/Virginia
      Also www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/immigrants-in-virginia
      "More than 140,000 U.S. citizens in Virginia live with at least one family member who is undocumented.
      300,000 undocumented immigrants comprised 28 percent of the immigrant population and 3.5 percent of the total state population in 2014.
      326,492 people in Virginia, including 113,072 born in the United States, lived with at least one undocumented family member between 2010 and 2014.
      During the same period, 5 percent of children in the state were U.S.-citizens living with at least one undocumented family member (98,768 children in total).
      Over 10,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients live in Virginia.
      In 2016, 47 percent of DACA-eligible immigrants in Virginia, or 13,967 people, had applied for DACA.
      An additional 6,000 residents of the state satisfied all but the educational requirements for DACA, and another 4,000 would be eligible as they grew older."

    I was born in Chicago and moved to Virginia in May of 1979, which means I’ve been in Virginia for 40 years. I lived in Colonial Heights, which is just outside Petersburg. I then moved to Norfolk in 2010, and have enjoyed it ever since. The scenery is gorgeous and the weather, for the most part, is just fine. I’m so glad to have moved here. I wouldn’t change one thing!!! 😎😉😎😉

      It depends on lots of things such social issues (liberal vs. conservative), financial issues and taxation (low taxation vs. high taxation, unionized state vs. union-free state), climate and weather, also urban vs. rural areas.
      Also your job skills and current occupation.
      So it's all about you, who you are and what you believe in.
      Feel free to provide some details about yourself and I'll be glad to give you my personal advice on what state you'll successfully fit in.
      Best of luck.

      I don't hate Virginia, but I certainly don't understand why they changed the "Welcome to Virginia" sign? I'm not preaching hate by any means at all but that new sign looks pointless.

    Why is it these videos are always either Northern Virginia or Richmond there's a whole lot more to Virginia than those two places the western part of the state is much prettier than the eastern part anyway we have Roanoke in the western part of the state plus the Shenandoah Valley

    I lived in Virginia for a number of years. The previous "Welcome to Virginia" sign was much prettier. It featured a cardinal on a white background. Gov. McAuliffe, the current governor, changed it to this black sign. Northern Virginia (NOVA) and Hampton Roads are large enclaves of Northerners, especially from the Northeast....just like being in NY or NJ. The governor is even originally from New York. Hmm... The real Virginia (what's left of it) is west of Richmond. The people in the those parts still have the traditional Southern genteel mannerisms, unlike NOVA and Hampton Roads. Virginia, once a prominent Southern state, is being transformed. More and more it reflects characteristics associated with Northeastern states....SAD!!!

      I live south of RIchmond, orig from NYC. Lots of northern implants ...No Va and Hampton Roads nice but traffic. West of Richmond, within 25 minues rolling farms and trees. South of Richmond, farms, cotton, tobacco and no major cities on 95 till JAX florida

      Your comment basically confirmed what I had originally stated. I personally don't find NOVA to be all that nice. It's one big urban sprawl and the traffic is horrendous. Driving I-95 from DC to Richmond and then on I-64 east to Hampton Roads is also not the most pleasant experience, as I do not like bumper to bumper traffic. I've driven that route (in both directions) one too many times. Again, Virginia is changing and not for the better!

      Texas Son DC area is like Atlanta. Geographically South, but culturally, not so much. The real Virginia starts at Fredericksburg.
