Virginia Review of Books: ‘1929’

Andrew (no relation) Ross Sorkin’s ‘1929: Inside the Crash’ is an enjoyable and lightweight history of the 1929 financial crash and the preceding and succeeding years. One of the highlights is the structure which facilitates a fast pace and keeps the story moving. It reads like a classic history ‘beach read’ (not that I get why people would read on a beach or go to a beach for that matter). On the other hand, there were times when additional detail could have given more depth to the narrative. All in all, ‘1929’ is a pleasant enough light read about an educational era of history that parallels the modern era in many ways.

What It Means When Rain Pools in Your Virginia Garden Beds After a Long Drought

Bone-dry soil can actually push rainwater away instead of drinking it in. Scientists have a name for it, and it shows up in backyards far more than most of us realize. In my own yard, I watched a summer storm finally arrive after weeks of cracked, dusty beds. I expected the ground to soak it up fast. Instead, shiny puddles sat on top like the soil had sealed itself shut.

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Newport, Virginia that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Newport, Virginia — a city where the hush of the Blue Ridge mingles with the laughter of neighbors who know each other by name, where clapboard houses lean into winding roads, and the air is thick with honeysuckle, woodsmoke, and the promise of something simmering on a family stove. Here, time moves slow — stories are told on front porches, and every meal is a gathering of kin, of friends, of memory and hope.

Local man runs for 24 hours

It’s one thing to complete a marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K race — which all can be done in a span of minutes or hours — but a Mount Airy man has managed to run for an entire day. This occurred when Charles Hiatt took on the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge from Oct. 30-31 in Mint Hill, near Charlotte. Unlike some races with spread-out courses, the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge involves a 1.35-mile loop that participants run over and over — “and over again,” Hiatt stated with a note of humor. The local man, an employee of Eagle Carports in Mount Airy, started the event on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. and finished on 7 p.m. the next day to cap what organizers call “a festive, Halloween-themed test of endurance.” While the running career of the former two-pack-per-day smoker previously included completing three World Marathon Majors in Boston, Chicago and most recently Sydney, Australia, he was a bit leery about the late-October event. “Running for 24 hours straight was definitely my biggest challenge yet,” Hiatt acknowledged. A friend and fellow runner, Josh Seawell of Pinnacle, had invited him to participate in the Mint Hill event. “Against my
