Quonset Hut Decked Out for Saturday NightThe former John Deere store on Rt. 203, Westmoreland County. Not many of these still around. The name comes from their site of first manufacture, Quonset Point, at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Cen…
The Limits of KnowledgeSomewhere outside Doswell. Don’t know what it is, what it was used for, or when it was used; but I do know I find it interesting.
I’ll Let Frost Explain ItTree At My Window Tree at my window, window tree,My sash is lowered when night comes on;But let there never be curtain drawnBetween you and me.Vague dream-head lifted out of the ground,And thing next most diffuse to cloud,Not …
“Lost Satellite Reception”A common phrase from my Garmin when traveling the back roads of Louisa County. So you drive around till you are told to, “drive 6/10s of a mile and turn right.” Or something like that. It is amazing what one finds when you …
At both stores Friday and Saturday we’ll be tasting out all five of our Thanksgiving picks. Click here to see a description of them.
Just about every place that sells wine has Thanksgiving picks. What makes ours special is our selection criteria. Most places will just push some stuff they want to sell for whatever reason and call it a pick. We took the time to find the most food-friendly wines we could at different price points. Not only have we tasted all these wines, we’ve brought them home to drink so that we could vouch for their quality. Plus, these are all hand crafted wines made by people who really care about wine instead of making a buck. If there was such a thing as a Farmer’s Market for wines these would be the sort of wines that would be for sale.

I had long since lost hope of ever seeing another new Drivin’ N Cryin’ record. The fact that new record is maybe their best since 1990’s Fly Me Courageous is just a huge fracking bonus. It’s always hard to categorize them as on any one record they will go from acoustic rock to heavy metal […]
I want to call these guys country, but that is not quite right. If Mellencamp had grown up in South Alabama he probably would have ended up sounding like this. The record definately has strong country influences, but there is just enough rock there to probably make sure nobody in Nashville pays attention to them. […]
With ADDReviews shutting down earlier this year, I haven’t been writing reviews, and I miss it. I won’t purposely limit myself to 20 words here, but I’ll try to keep it in the spirit by being brief.

Surprise, this is a southern rock album, with the emphasis more on the rock […]
Yuck! What a rotten weather pattern. There seems to be a continuous succession of strong High pressure systems taking up a semi-permanent position over New England, which means we suffer under an easterly wind bringing in cool low level moisture fro…
