Video of Hometown

It finally happened! Someone posted a video of my hometown on YouTube this week. :) The quality isn't great but maybe you'll enjoy it. Or at least like the REAL country music playing in the background. I don't know the name of the singer. Many fun memories flashing on the video, including the roller skating rink, bowling alley and water park I frequently visited as a child. And you will see a shot of "Emmanuel Baptist Church." This is the school I went to from 5th - 12th grade. The one that made me agnostic. The nice shots of the fields at the end are from the Manassas Battlefield. I'll have to do a post on it sometime.



And if you haven't done so, check out my post "Home is Where the Heart Is" where I write about my hometown.

One reader was kind enough to take the time to drive around and make a video of his hometown for me. Really interesting to see!

I wish everyone a pleasant weekend.

I've seen these Civil War reenactments. The people are amazing, in their wool suits in the middle of very hot and humid Virginia summers. There's a lot of history here, so it's a cool area in which to live.
