Blue Ridge Parkway – James River to Roanoke

High in the narrow Allegheny Mountain valleys of George Washington National Forest lie two small rivers. The Jackson River winds through gorges and dams before joining Cowpasture River just outside the town of Clifton Forge. This junction marks the start of the mighty James River. Virginia’s longest river, it stretches over four hundred miles from […]

Aquaman

I can’t think of a better way to kick off 2019 than with the first live-action film featuring the comic book character Aquaman. The film actually opened the week before Christmas, and proved to be a wonderful cinematic gift for superhero fans. The road to the big screen has been a long one for Aquaman, […]

Resolutions I Promise to Keep in 2019

Happy New Year! 2019 is upon up us and if you’re anything like me, you too are having massive anxiety over dealing with the fact that somehow 1999 was 20 years ago. But with the coming of another year comes once more a set of resolutions to mostly not keep. This week, I’d like to […]

 

Tea Time with Appalachian Barbie

Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot…

Hearing the beginning strains of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ as the clock strikes midnight never fails to conjure up a reaction in me. Basking in the last twinkling of Christmas lights, surrounded by couples kissing, confetti and noise makers, it should be a song that evokes feelings of joy and excitement, but it’s always quite bittersweet. […]

Pleiades Star Cluster of Ages

“The seven stars, glittering and quivering with radiance in the amethystine ether like a breastplate of jewels.” In Starland 1922 by Fannie Dickerson Chase One of the most known objects in the sky is now high in the eastern sky, as familiar to humans today as it was 5,000 years ago—The Pleiades. Known in the […]

Remember the ‘Fallen Flags’ at Carter Railroad Museum Heritage Day

Models of America’s former signature railroads will be on display during Heritage Day on Saturday, Dec. 29 at the George L. Carter Railroad Museum located on the campus of East Tennessee State University. Today’s super railroads were spawned by the consolidation of numerous smaller firms and had signature identities such as unique logos, memorable slogans […]

Appalachian Wanderers

Blue Ridge Parkway-Shenandoah to James River Gorge

Far to our north, just outside the small borough of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, a series of ridges rise abruptly from the gently-rolling Piedmont. While they may not seem all that impressive, these forested hills are the starting point of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From their timid beginnings they’ll march over six hundred and fifteen miles across […]

 

Pop Life

The Grinch

How many versions of The Grinch do we need? At least three in my opinion. That’s exactly what we now have with the new release “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch“. The film,  based on the 1957 Dr. Seuss book, was preceded by the 1966 animated cartoon shown on CBS, and the 2000 live-action film starring Jim Carrey in the title role. To add to the Grinch fun, we now have a CGI 3D version for 2018. […]
