Reaction is pretty positive I’d say.

For those of you who are interested, UVA (and thus Charlottesville) is generally considered part of the “commonwealth of Virginia” or “Central Virginia” but never part of the DMV. The DMV generally only includes Washington DC and the immediate close suburbs of DC that are in Maryland (Montgomery County and Prince George County) and a few parts of Northern Virginia that are close to DC:
[LIST]
[*]Arlington
[*]Alexandria
[*]Fairfax County
[*]Loudoun County
[*]Prince William County
[/LIST]
Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway) is often seen as the "center" of the DMV. People frequently distinguish between being "Inside the Beltway" (closer to DC) versus "Outside the Beltway."

All that said, there is not one strict definition that everyone holds to. It is more of a culture thing. But you would most definitely be corrected if you spoke to someone from the DMV and you mentioned Charlottesville as being part of it.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming!!

PS: I just re-read this and I sound like I’m being a bit of an a$$. It truly wasn’t my intention. I thought of the DMV as DC, Maryland and Virginia until I got down here.
