And We Always Thought Staunton Was Lame...

I guess we were wrong!

Smithsonian Magazine and Travel+Leisure have both named my hometown on their respective best small town/main street lists.

That's right. Staunton was #10 on the Smithsonian's 20 Best Small Towns in America list and #5 on Travel+Leisure's America's Greatest Main Streets list!

Both magazines highlighted the Blackfriars (which is very cool, but the bane of many high schoolers' existences), Woodrow Wilson's Birthplace (an elementary school field trip staple), downtown's awesome brick facade, and of all things, the camera museum... I'm not sure I even knew we had one of those.

They just forgot to mention one thing though... Grandma's! Make sure you stop in the next time you visit... It's even on the way from the camera museum to the Blackfriars.
