cityofRaven 2,424 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Pretty sure there is a pole already on here. And Salem never has and never will be considered a Southwest Virginia team. redtiger, BlueRazor, Jason and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,913 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Pretty sure there is a pole already on here. And Salem never has and never will be considered a Southwest Virginia team. Neither will Glenvar and Martinsville. Most would argue Giles and Pulaski also. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Neither will Glenvar and Martinsville. Most would argue Giles and Pulaski also. Salem, Pulaski, Glenvar, and Martinsville are NOT SWVA. I consider Giles to be SWVA though. They are the last SWVA team I consider when heading toward the NRV on 460. Also, Ft. Chiswell if you're on 81. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to include Pulaski in SWVA, it is actually located more to the west than Giles is. rvtne216 and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I would have to include Pulaski in SWVA, it is actually located more to the west than Giles is. But Pulaski identifies as part of the NRV where as Giles doesn't. Or at least that's what the people I've talked to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,739 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Part of my reason for saying 77 is because between Ft Chiswell and Pulaski there isint a town. I dont want to say the area is empty but its sparsely populated and imo makes a natural dividing line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to say the area is empty but its sparsely populated and imo makes a natural dividing line. That's why I do it as well. Also, the people in Pulaski identify themselves as NRV. I don't feel like Ft. Chiswell people do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH31 2,514 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Many people want to say Virginia Tech is in SWVA. If you want to claim Tech you have to take Radford and Pulaski too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the geography well enough to give you a dividing line but when we tried dividing things up a few years back, we called this is the SWVA area...

HM3-8404 103 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I used to work in Northern Virginia, they think of it as Nova (Northern Virginia) and Rova (Rest of Virginia). They have Northern Virginia, to them Hampton Roads area is a close second. Richmond is a town with The state government. Winchester and Roanoke are back woods sheep herding truck stops, and the rest of Virginia may as well be a third world country. Those schools up there have 2,000 students and 200 fans, while we have 200 students and 2,000 fans. It is a different world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,913 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I had a coworker from Roanoke once argue with me for a solid year that Oak Hill Academy was located in Tennessee. Not North Carolina, where the campus lies less than a mile from it's border, but Tennessee. Claims to have been to "numerous" games there and knows for certain the campus is in Tennessee. That was more than a decade ago. I still think he was confusing Oak Ridge, TN with Mouth of Wilson, VA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
