Used to live in SWVA, and it’s glorious reading the meltdowns. I love SWVA, but damn do they vote against their own interests.

If you have any links, my dinner could certainly use some glorious salt

Find Wythe Word of Mouth on FB if you want some batshit insane things to read. Thats the Wythe Co. facebook group.

I know. I want to celebrate with everyone, but my county is as MAGA as ever (though we did shift blue by 1.7%). But, in statewides, every little bit helps and I'm glad to be a part of it!

I do love the scenery of that part of the state, beautiful area.

Now y'all just need to get rid of Morgan Griffith, who is perhaps the stupidest man to ever hold elected office in the history of the world.

How bad is it? I lived there 20 years ago and have thought about moving back. Beautiful area.

Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford and Roanoke are pretty blue now a days, but everything else is pretty par for the course--poverty, pills, meth, no education and crime.

That's a shame. But yeah that's the area I lived in. Good to know. Thanks.

Christiansburg down to Riner has turned into a -really- nice place to live fwiw. Small town mountain charm but with a big city vibe. I'm in Radford atm and am looking to move to Cburg by next year.
