Town Profile Submit your town Cripple Creek, VirginiaSubmitted by VTLinda Was an iron mining town at the turn of the 1900's. Boasts a total of about 50 residents now - nestled deep in the Appalachians. A true, real piece of mountain culture - visit the shot tower used to make minnie balls for the Civil War, or Crockett's Chapel, where the land was donated by Davy Crockett's nephew in 1848, or Yonce's Store where a resident bought oranges in the 1920's and when his wife didn't know how to "fix 'em", they threw them to the hogs, because they warn't fitten to eat. It's also where the bluegrass favorite "Goin' up Cripple Creek" originated in the late 1800's. I love the place because it hasn't changed in over 50 years, possibly even a hundred. Folks are just who they are - and in my opinion, they're just wonderful! Danville, VirginiaSubmitted by Frank Martin First off, I wanted to tell you that I think what you are doing is freakin awsome.

Springfield, VirginiaSubmitted by Rachel Edwards My hometown can honestly be described as dull to those who have lived here their whole lives. But, for a first time visitor it can be quite the adventure. We are twenty minutes from the amazing nation's capital of Washington, DC. This opens up a whole opportunity to those wanting to do something unique, by going to explore the place that makes our country what it is. People from Springfield often are caught going to DC for a day trip with their friends, just to have a good time. Visiting here can only benefit those who love America. |
