The Commonwealth is the Place to Be
Whether or not our preferred candidates win tonight, we hope Virginians will be polite about the outcomes.
After all, a blog site recently tallied up the 25 Most Neighborly Cities in America, and our Commonwealth nabbed two of the top 10 spots.
Virginia Beach came in at No. 3 nationally, while Richmond was No. 9. The categories included charitable donations, volunteerism, crime rates, population growth, and, notably on this day, voter turnout.
Our state also boasts three of the top 10 cities to move to, according to USA Today. Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Richmond all made that list based on 16 categories, most of them financial.
Visitors also know they are welcome here and are coming in droves. Tourism generated a record $33.3 billion last year, up 10% year-over-year.
Virginia is for lovers, even (especially) on Election Day.
