Wither Charlottesville?
Here are the Virginia municipalities that claim to be the “X Capital of the World.” (Solve for X.)
- Bedford: Christmas Capital of Virginia
- Chincoteague: Clam Capital of the World
- Danville: Last Capital of the Confederacy
- Deltaville: Boatbuilding Capital of the Chesapeake
- Gordonsville: Fried Chicken Capital of the World
- Highland County: Trout Capital of the Eastern United States
- Martinsville: Sweatshirt Capital of the World
- Middleburg: Unofficial Capital of Virginia’s Hunt Country
- Newport News: Shipbuilding Capital of the World
- Rockingham County: Turkey Capital of the World
- Smithfield: Ham Capital of the World
- Strasburg: Antiques Capital of Virginia
- Tangier Island: Soft-shell Crab Capital of the World
- Wachapreague: Flounder Capital of the World
- Winchester: Apple Capital of the World
Thanks to the largess of President Bush and the end of textile quotas, Martinsville might want to rethink that title. But I can say that they make some pretty freakin’ good fried chicken in Gordonsville.
