Last week, I drew attention to the Rocktown documentary blog. Now I have a little more info.
Over a decade ago, Leslie Edwards resided in Harrisonburg. She lived on Patterson, a neighborhood that doesn’t exist anymore.

I stumbled upon an interesting blog recently.
Apparently when Leslie Edwards returned to Harrisonburg after being gone for 12 years, she didn’t like what she saw, and decided to make a documentary about it.

There have been several posts and discussions regarding the topic of local foods (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.).  John Eckman, Executive Director of the Valley Conservation Council and resident of Harrisonburg, did a civic soapbox (listener essay on WMRA) he titled “Taking a Bite” (sound clip).

I wanted to make a top 10 best/worst list of the biggest stories and developments in and around Harrisonburg this year, but I decided against it. Instead, here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly, in no particular order…

Harrisonburg IPv6 deployment woes aside, what happens if World Airwaves does manage to provide v6 access to parts of the city before fall? Today I came across an interesting post from Mozilla’s network engineer, mrz (you know, the open source company that put out Firefox). If you read between the geekspeak, he’s saying that no [...]

Today I came across this post by a blogger calling herself “*”. It’s an incomplete list of vegetarian options in Harrisonburg. She says she has “more vegetarian lunch ideas to come.” A long time ago, Martin Cizmar had a blog on the DNR called “Vegetablog,” which hasn’t been active since January, 2006.
If there are [...]
