I wrote in a post last week: "I lived a good percentage of my life in Blacksburg (as recently as 2005) and won't go on about that here." But I did go ahead, writing a personal essay about it at The Morning News. Thanks for reading.

That was beautifully done. And it really struck a chord: you could have been describing Pullman, WA, where I spent four years (around 9/11) with small children...
well done, ben. as another 11-year veteran of the burg, i've been mulling over similar reminiscences also. yours are better written, though.
thanks mercury; thanks homebrew.
follow-up: m. rea tells me axl didn't makeit to the cellar that night, but duff and izzy did.
I only spent four years in Blacksburg, but went back a lot in the immediate years after leaving in 1995. Thanks for writing this...
