It would take them 3+ hours just to escape the worst metropolitan traffic in the nation. Then add another 3 hours for the drive down to Lexington. That area of Virginia is VERY Conservative. Little liberal Lexington is in the middle of a Conservative county surrounded by Conservative counties.
Exactly.
I have a hard time believing that most of the restaurant’s clientele comes from Lexington proper.
And compared to Charlottesville, Lexington is still quite conservative,
Interestingly enough, a lot of the small businesses ( which include a lot of restaurants) in Charlottesville lost a great deal of business after the protests that occurred here last summer.
Reality can be a b!tch...
