>Roanoke is my home town. Even though I left Roanoke County, after I graduated from high school(many, many “moons” ago), I keep tabs on what is going on from my sister. Roanoke has become, according to my sister, an “escapee” destination for people from New York and New Jersey.<

Please. Try living near Smith Mountain Lake. The ratio of New Yawkahs to native Virginians is pathetic.

That said, thank goodness many of the escapees are conservatives. Now, if we could just put the liberals on I-81 heading back north, we’d be in good shape!

Gee, that makes me glad we sold our lot on Smith Mtn. Lake. Hate to think of all the liberals coming South to ruin the good part of our country.

I grew up in a suburb of Raleigh, NC, and even before I left in the mid-90's, we were already calling Cary "an acronym for 'Contained Area for Relocated Yankees.'" Note that the Raleigh-Durham, RTP area went blue this last election.
