Today I’m writing from Charlottesville, Virginia, a very literate community. In fact this town has more bookstores per capita than any other. At least that’s what Charlottesvillians claim. (They add that second-to-the-last syllable to their title to prevent themselves from being called Charlotte’s Villains – which sounds like the title of a movie the Coen brothers might make.)
A number of writers have lived here over the years including Edgar Allan Poe, Rita Mae Brown, and a little-known novelist named John Grisham.
This month, Charlottesville has another distinction. It’s the home of one of the worst blizzards to hit the Mid-Atlantic region in years. Click on the video link to see it. And Happy Holidays to all!
Glad you made it home. You can never tell what will happen when you get stuck in a blizzard with Charlotte's Villains.
ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes..or should I say snow....I can feel the cold all the way down here in Florida. Great job with the video camera, music and graphics. I was visiting family in the UK during that time and we had our fair share over there. unfortunately the powers that be failed to grit the roads, forcing many to abandon their cars and walk. Reason #1...it had rained the day before and the roads were too wet...reason #2 well, let's just say the roads were 'too slippery' and when the sun went down...'it went icy...' What would Grisham, Poe and Brown have said.....?
