Today's Washington Post included a story about how the District and surrounding areas are losing its "Southern" feeling. The migration of Northerners and immigrants into Northern Virginia and DC itself has strongly contributed to the diminished sense of "southernness."Historically, DC's way of living looked to the South for ways to go. Architecture, cuisine, and manners tended to be more along the lines one associated with Dixie rather than Yankee. The change is a significant one, as the "East Coast" moves further into the former Confederacy.
