Lahore, Virginia



There's a town called Lahore in Virginia, which was named after the actual Lahore sometime between 1850-1870. The video is from a Voice of America (Urdu) piece. Despite the guy's desire to recreate Basant in Virginia, I must say that Lahore, Virginia looks nothing like the beautiful Lahore, Pakistan. I guess something always gets "lost in translation." Anyway, check out the video, if only to hear the white southern dude say "Lahore."
