The Newport News paper has this article ("Next Va. inauguration may move to Wbg," 1/25/05) which says that support is gaining for a proposal to move the next governor's inauguration to Williamsburg, Virginia's second capital from 1699 to 1780, in part because the State Capitol in Richmond is still being reconstructed.
Well, why not, I like Williamsburg.
Or, if that doesn't work out, here is a whole list and here is another of Virginia's other capitals, including the Clam Capital of the World, the World's Capital of Old Time Mountain Music, the Fried Chicken Capital of the World, the Trout Capital of the Eastern United States, the Shipbuilding Capital of the World, the Turkey Capital of the World, the Ham Capital of the World, the Softshell Crab Capital of the World, the Flounder Capital of the World, the Apple Capital of the World, and the Christmas Capital of Virginia. I would add to those lists the Salt Capital of the Confederacy and the Peanut Capital of the World.
