| Staunton Postcard, 1908. |
This week, let's go to STAUNTON.
I visited here first in 1995 with my new best friend, Kathy, from architecture school. We stopped at her mother's home in Staunton on the way back to school from the Rem Koolhaas lecture at the National Building Museum in Washington DC. She drove me through town and I was impressed with the hills - so steep! A road trip through beautiful western Virginia with my mom landed us here at a B&B several years later. A marriage to a JMU doctoral student brought me here this year to live. We love it. Our favorite thing to do is explore Staunton so we cherish the few times we've had here after a very busy semester and a summer spent mostly out of town and look forward to many more Staunton explorations! I'm so excited to draw Staunton's main street, Beverley Street, this week. Keep in touch --
