Do you consider Leesburg to be slightly Southern?

Leesburg has a slightly Southern feel, does it not? It seems a world away from Frederick Maryland or anything even just a little further North. Granted, it has become yankeefied over the years, but I always felt it's more Southern or the northern most Southern town . It has a substantial Negro population for a town it's size. I was passing my Mt Olivet Baptist Church (it's black). I felt like Leesburg is a lot like the town I knew in North Carolina and feels more like real Virginia. What do Y'all think?

30 years ago it may have felt like Mayberry, but now it's a hub for foreign factions and weirdos. Not very Southern to me. Also you can't get sweet tea at most restaurants.

Can you get sweet tea? Can you get grits?

There are lots of "Southern" restaurants in the area,

but it does seem like they are trying a bit too hard. We're teetering on an area that really is struggling with it's identity. When you reach Frederickrburg, you're in the South. This area is kind of in between.
