A letter to the editor in the Daily News Record this week suggests that we are.

I concede that Harrisonburg and Rockingham County need to continue to focus on their infrastructure to support any growth that does occur.  But...to suggest that we're turning into Northern Virginia??  That seems to be a bit of a stretch to me --- here are two Google Map views to help you make up your mind.

Harrisonburg, Virginia . . .


 
Vienna, Virginia . . .



Of note --- almost all of Harrisonburg is viewable within the map above, however you can zoom out of the Vienna map and move it all around, and you will continue to see dense development for miles around.

Despite the growth in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, it still seems to me to be a bit different from Northern Virginia.  What about to you?
