Richmond IS the capital of Virginia - NOT Washington D.C.

quoted for truth.

Also this (more specifically for northern VA but still)

Yes, there really are more than 5 completely separate Lincoln Streets in Arlington.
Yes, locals really do get into extensive arguments over whether it is more stupid to take I-95 or Rt 1 to your given destination.

Yes, many roads do change names more than three times in the course of a few miles.

*a few more to add regarding Arizona, most of these being from questions I've been asked by various people over the Internet*

- no, the entire state is not made up of reservations or the desert
- no, I am not obsessed with playing golf, nor have I ever been to a golf course
- it's not THAT rare to encounter someone who was born in Arizona
- no, everyone does not have a tan or go around half-naked due to the heat
- yes, I do know what ice and snow are, and I have seen both before....I don't need you to send me a picture.
