Proud to be a Virginian: The Carnival!

A day late; a dollar short. Nonetheless, the best of the Commonwealth has arrived in perfect form!


A Second Hand Conjecture | Tyson's Corner: MichaelW talks about travelling the world over and "God's own little acre."

Monstrosity | Alexandria: Melissa over at the DitzyDems talks about the most formidable monument in the Alexandria skyline: the George Washington Masonic National Memorial.

Sophistpundit | Fairfax: Adam Gurri talks about one of the most endearing qualities of the Commonwealth, that being our fine system of colleges and universities.

Neal 2028 | Bristol: Neal hasn't come up with anything good to say about Bristol (yet), but this is definitely one of the most beautiful parts of Virginia.

SWAC Girl | Staunton: Ah Staunton... the best way to discover a "come here" from a "been here" is pointing to Staunton on a map and asking, "What is the name of this town?" Transportation is key, and getting in and around Staunton is a heck of a lot better thanks to the Libby Loop.

Conaway Haskins | Richmond: The Fan, Capitol Square, Carytown, Shockoe Bottom...

Stephen Braunlich | Old Rag: Not only does he pick my favorite part of the Shenandoah Park (I'm a Robertson Mountain fan myself), he even quotes St. Ephram the Syrian. If you're not reading this blog, you're letting yourself down...

Tom James | Caroline County: Yes yes, he posted it onto my site in the comments section. But it's as good a read on Hanover County and historical preservation as you'll find!

Cathouse Chat | Danville: This one's gotta go at the end because it's the best roundup. Old homes, quilts, hammocks, Patrick Henry...

Thanks for everyone who participated! The nastiness of the previous week seems to have blown over for more interesting things at Capitol Hill, but let's all keep in mind what's best about Virginia: the land, the people, the friends, our manners and civility, but most of all understand that all of these things make us who we are.

I'm proud to be a Virginian!
