@HistoryNotHate1 Bet that was wild

@GetOnTap I’m with you Brother. USMA 89

Enter Sandman

@RobertZeigler7 It’s part Blue Ridge part NRV, should be their own separate groups

@GetOnTap The orange is and has only ever been the New River Valley; not Shenandoah.

This is a pretty good breakdown

@bk24hurst Never heard of the Blue Ridge, but this isn’t geographical it’s cultural. Yes all of that encompasses southwest Virginia, but everything Smyth/Tazewell and west is different culturally than everything east of there.

@GetOnTap Not southern Shenandoah. The orange and red are called the Blue Ridge. We are also called Southwest Virginia together. Excluding Roanoke.

@W1llHerman I think Bland/Wythe/Grayson should group with Giles/Pulaski/Carrol to form a New River region. Then move Bedford/Botetourt/Alleghany into the Blue Ridge (Southern Shenandoah on this map) and it’s pretty spot on

@GetOnTap I could quibble with a county or two, but it’s pretty accurate overall.

@SimonKatz13 This isn’t based on geography it’s based off cultural aspects, and it’s not mine. I just shared it. It needs some work but it’s close

@GetOnTap The Blue Ridge Mountains (not Foothills) run north/south and The Piedmont is east of that not the blocks you made here.

@dogwoodblooms He’s an angry little guy

I’m a b*tch and a c*nt for… checks notes… knowing that “black food” and Southern food is the same exact thing. Good times. I’m done with X for the night. Sweet dreams, y’all!

@patriotinswva Very much 🤣

@GetOnTap We went to Gettysburg last week. Came home on 181 the entire way. 81 in Virginia and 81 in West Virginia are very different interstates. lol

I have dreams of driving this truck on 81

This is the inspiration we needed

@tsanford0717 This is why I try to keep a level head, I know people have issues

@GetOnTap I pulled my 8,000lb camper down 81 with a 5.4 f250 not too long ago. I did it over night cus I had a sneaking suspicion this would happen been me without the electric break helper lol and by time I got to the top of the hills I was only doin about 13 mph lol

@FangornOfMisty 🍻 lemme know if you make your way to any

@GetOnTap Thanks for the travel itinerary ideas!

Five unique restaurants in Virginia you should try, all in the mountains: - The Palisades in Eggleston, VA - The Homeplace in Catawba, VA - The Tavern in Abingdon, VA - Cuz’s Uptown BBQ in Pounding Mill, VA - The Porch and VooDoo Lounge right here in Rocky Mount, VA You’re welcome

@Floridachlorm Yea you’re right

@GetOnTap I-81 isnt great but working on I-95 going into DC this last week reminded me it could still be worse.

@Grdn_prtctr @JustinKint It’s asinine

@GetOnTap @JustinKint Not including the Valley is absurd

Obligatory rant post on how retarded the ARC map is.

@hop99146874 That’s all I’d want

@GetOnTap I77 between Charlotte and Columbia. Just once please.

Edelweiss Restaurant about 20 mins north of Lexington and has great German food/beer. Very old school feel, one of my favorites. Honestly haven’t eaten/drank at a ton of places in Lexington like that, but it’s a college town so I know they have some good options. For nostalgia the Pink Cadillac Diner between 81 and Lexington is neat, 50s/Elvis theme & aesthetics, and Kenny’s fried chicken is 🔥🔥. Restaurant at the Peaks of Otter lodge is really good, beautiful view. Honestly if you’re willing to go to Lexington, there are some great spots here in Rocky Mount. Have The Porch and Voo Doo lounge which is my wife and my favorite spot. Ippys is also worth the trip. Only place you can get a nice sit down dinner, low lit, cloth napkins spot then go get in a fight in the bar through the double doors🤣 Anastasia’s Speakeasy is really cool. Awesome drink selection, and you enter through a fake barbershop with a hidden door to get in

@WVGunLaw It is 🍻🤣

@GetOnTap Because it's pretty dang funny?

I don’t know why I laugh at this shit🤣

@GetOnTap ‘Murica!

@callyourdaddyo That place is a nightmare

@GetOnTap 285 for me
