[QUOTE=Mel Dyer;4240165][I]Virginia Shore[/I] is the town or city, where Steve and Ferdinand built a beach house for Diana, at the end of the Rucka run. Steve had a really cool beard, right up until they settled here.
BTW, ..I live in Washington, DC, and I'm aware VA's shore is a real place. Perhaps, real-life [I]Bay Shore,[/I] not far from Norfolk, might have inspired the naming of 'Virginia Shore'.[/QUOTE]
Wasn't it simply called the Virginia Coast? It doesn't really matter, I just assumed it was a geographical designation, not an actual town.

In #25, it is labelled "The Virginia Coast".
In #64, our first scene there is labelled "Coastal Virginia", and in #65 it gets "Home of Diana Prince, Northern Virginia". I haven't found any reference to a "Virginia Shore".

Not exactly sure what it says that a large proportion of the thread discussion so far is about the name of the beach where Diana sleeps...

[QUOTE=Vaffrey;4240765]Or Virginia Beach.[/QUOTE]
I have been wrong about the name of Diana's [B]fictional city.[/B] It's NOT 'Virginia Shore', apparently.
On page 14, WW #38 (current vol), Diana's city is officially called [I]"Virginia Shoreline, VA"[/I] - the comma and 'VA' clearly designating that it's a name of a geographical place ..or an address. It's not presented, as [I][I]"The shoreline...in Virginia"[/I][/I] or [I]"A rocky shoreline in Virginia",[/I] as Robinson refers to "The Amazon Jungle...", when he's referring to geographical place, without naming it. Elsewhere, he writes "Manila, Phillipines", designating an address; comparatively speaking, his [I]Virginia Shoreline[/I] is the name of Diana's fictional, coastal city or town.
[I]Virginia Shoreline, USA[/I]...not very memorable, but, I'll take it. Probably a hodge-podge of places, like Norfolk, which is like Virginia's answer to Austin, TX, without the progressive politics.
I'd rather have Diana in Gateway City[I][/I] or Etta's new home in [I]Georgetown,[/I] a district in Washington DC, ..but, I'll take it.
