This is one Virginian who voted with his feet two years ago. Before leaving I took the 80 mile drive from Springfield to Ashland on I-95 on a clear Saturday morning.It took four hours.
Virginia has rapidly moved from one of the most conservative states in the nation to Massachusetts south. Fairfax county, where I lived for more than three decades along with the adjoining towns of Alexandria and Arlington put the knife to a once wonderful state.
Tales me about 35 minutes to do the Springfield to Ashland trip ~ can’t imagine 4 hours unless you made a wrong turn in that mess up near Reston or something.
