Visited Staunton, VA which has created a vibrant destination downtown of theater, art studios, bookshops. Also have a wine tasting shop that also sells high end chocolate & snacks. Great idea to promote the many Virginia wines w/o having to drive to the wineries.Pam Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-57973191423682652372016-11-30T13:03:07.339-05:002016-11-30T13:03:07.339-05:00Penny Gross has been a multiyear supporter of Arti...Penny Gross has been a multiyear supporter of Artisans United.

Wouldn't it be great if Annandale could be known as an arts district such "The Annandale Art District" rather than the "Dump" as it typically is referenced on this site. <br /><br />Penny Gross should be focusing on this spurring this kind of urban renewal for artists, young residents and and an arts and craft center rather than her hair brain ideas of throwing social service centers at us. It must be her revenge agains Lake Barcroft and Sleepy Hollow at play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
