Where Gene and Virginia get together (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

geneva

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where gene' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'and virginia get together' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'virginia' could be 'va' (US state abbreviation) and 'va' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
