URBANNA — The first time I went to Deltaville I was accompanied by a Middlesex County native. She introduced me to a native of Deltaville and added that I lived in Urbanna, “Ha!” the lady said in immediate huff with her hands on her hips. “You people from Urbanna think you’re so fancy!”

Now I am used to hearing all sorts of comments in this world we live in today but I wasn’t expecting anything like this. It took me a few moments to recover. I realized she didn’t much care for people that lived in Urbanna and she had assumed I was an “Urbannaite” even though I had hardly lived in the town more than a few months.
