br3d“Sunken land and dismal swamps” - what’s in that area now?
It’s actually got a huge area of land called The Great Dismal Swamp. Lots of park land and wilderness in rural Virginia. Someone from the area may be able to weigh in on it. I passed through years ago and the name struck me as hilarious.
Aviandelight If you’ve ever been in southern VA in the summer you’ll understand the name “Dismal.” It is nice that we have protected wetlands though.
