I grew up in Virginia, which is nicknamed "Old Dominion"
That's pretty cool, I have some family in Virgina. Why is it called "Old Dominion"?
It's called the "Old Dominion" because it was the first English colonial possession established in North America
Huh, never realized that. I assume that's where the college got its name?
Old Dominion University? I believe so.  ODU is one of the largest universities in Virginia with over 24,000 students!
Wow, that's a lot larger than I would have expected. What is your favorite city in Virginia?
Virginia Beach! I love going to the beach!
I've actually been down there! It's beautiful. I don't like the sand very much though. It tends to get everywhere.
It is beautiful. Great views of the Atlantic and the Chesapeake Bay
