Why Do Shenandoah Valley Travelers Keep Pulling Off For Pancakes At Southern Kitchen In New Market?

Interstate 81 is a long road, and somewhere near New Market a lot of drivers make the same quiet decision. They flip on the blinker and head for breakfast. The reason is not a flashy billboard or a viral trend. It is a small roadside diner that has been feeding the Shenandoah Valley for about seven decades, opening its doors at 7 AM every single day of the week.

How to Make a Holiday Wreath From Virginia Garden Evergreens

Female holly trees grow those famous red berries. The males don’t, so a berry-less holly in your yard might simply be a boy. I’m always surprised by how much wreath material hides in an ordinary Virginia yard. Glossy leaves, blue-dusted berries, soft needles, and spicy-scented sprigs often sit a few steps from the back door.

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.
