Another Virginia boy here, born in Portsmouth, raised in Chesapeake and now living in Portsmouth again for the past couple years. Lived in Northern VA for 5 years and went to college up there. Also lived in San Diego for 2 years after college before moving back to VA. Mom lives in Vegas and been there since about '96, so i consider that pretty much a second home, lol.
Very familiar with JMU/Harrisonburg area, been there too many times to count when i was in college and a couple times since. that stretch of highway between NOVA and H-burg is BEAUTIFUL and I've driven it many times. I've been to Winchester as well a few times, and have some college friends that hail from there. Went to my gf's sisters wedding a couple years ago up there and stayed for a long weekend. It's a nice quaint little town.
