Staunton's Kevin Hart brings Friends Turned Family home for pop-up

Kevin Hart turned the idea of friends becoming family into a clothing brand. Now, the Staunton native is bringing Friends Turned Family home to Staunton for a pop-up event celebrating fashion, friendship and community. Hart is partnering with Heard The Store, Inez’s Kitchen and the Staunton Black Business Collective for a pop-up event from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13. “It will just be a time for people to connect,” Hart said. “This is for everyone. I really do want to share this experience with Staunton. I will have some Staunton pieces, specifically for this pop-up. We’ll have some good food and take some dope photos. “It will be a family reunion of sorts, man; just people listening to music, having a good time and exploring a new store in Staunton that, from what I hear, is extremely dope. People will be exposed to Friends Turned Family and exposed to Heard.” A popular vintage clothing store opened by co-founders Cutter Chisnell and Jeffrey Placide, Heard The Store is a fitting venue for the pop-up event. “We are so excited about one of Staunton’s own coming back home to host a pop-up in our space,” Chisnell said. “These types of

A 312-year-old Stradivarius made a secret stop in Fredericksburg

For one night in October, the James Monroe High School auditorium was home to one of the most famous violins in the world, and almost nobody knew it was coming. Violinist Timothy Chooi joined the Fredericksburg Symphony Orchestra on Oct. 23 for Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, playing the 1714 “Dolphin” Stradivarius, the instrument famously associated with Jascha Heifetz. For security reasons, the orchestra didn’t announce the violin’s appearance in advance.

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.

WENETA: Virginia’s 1902 framers said the quiet part out loud. Hawkins left it out.

Joshua Hawkins’s argument against Question 3 rests on a sanitized account of Virginia’s history and an inaccurate description of its present law. He writes that the constitutional framers’ rationale was simple — “those who demonstrate fidelity to the law should be the ones entrusted with the power to change it.”
