Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford MSA Among The Safest
I’m admittedly a week or so behind on this news, but it’s relevant nonetheless.
Giles County’s Cascades Waterfall, Frozen
During the “polar vortex” we experienced earlier this week, I mentioned online that it would be a great time to go out to Giles County’s Cascades waterfall, as I expected the waterfall was likely pretty-well frozen. I’d gone out a few years ago to see it during a snowstorm and it was really cool, but I didn’t go this year … opportunity lost. There’s my photo of the falls, to the left.
Montgomery County’s Most Expensive Sales in 2013
It’s always fun to look back at the year and see what the most expensive sales in Montgomery County were during the year – and particularly interesting that this year, all five homes sold within $25000 of each other.

Christmas Lights in the New River Valley 2013
Christmas season is upon us, and one of the things I really look forward to is going out to look at all the houses decorated in lights, most of them have professionals put them up, and they always do an amazing job.

In years past, we’ve done the Christmas Map, where I’ve highlighted all of the houses I found that had some really great decorations – both elegant AND gaudy (oh admit it, you like the gaudy ones too). This year, I’m behind in getting the map up, and truthfully I just don’t have the time to do it.
Bears in the New River Valley
Today, a friend posted on Twitter that his neighbor had just seen a black bear in their Blacksburg neighborhood:
What Natural Disasters Occur in the New River Valley?
Safe to say, the New River Valley doesn’t see a lot of natural disasters (save for that derecho, and an earthquake). Okay, other than those two events, we haven’t seen a lot of natural disasters in the 12 years I’ve lived here. Which is nice.
