    "I moved to Culpeper from Northern Virginia back in 2001 when Culpeper was still considered a small town, and the I was visited by the welcome wagon when I moved in to my house. After living in Culpeper for 10 years, I moved to Rappahannock county for 7&1/2 yrs, now due to life changes that are out of my control I am moving back to Culpeper and it's definitely grown up from the small town it once was, and I won't be excepting the welcome wagon this time around but it's certainly not Fairfax or Gainesville. Not yet anyway."
