DR 3DDiffusion - Which part of Virginia are you in? Richmond was my homebase for a number of years after college - I went to VCU, and I grew up in NoVa (Arlington and Fairfax). But I also had friends at UVa and VaTech, so I spent some time in Charlottesville and Blacksburg, as well as some time at Virginia Stage in Norfolk. Oh, and, of course, shopping at the outlet malls in Williamsburg, Potomac Mills and Leesburg.
