  4. Today’s small moment - I’m always drawn to photographing garden paths, especially the ones that curve out of sight. There’s something comforting about them, like a quiet reminder that beauty can be found no matter which way we go.

    This shaded path, with greenery all around and the Maid in the Mud Frank Lloyd Wright statue resting quietly nearby, feels like that gentle pause life sometimes gives us - an invitation to trust the path, even when we can’t yet see where it leads.

  8. “Data shows that when speeds are reduced, the likelihood of injury from crashes for vulnerable road users and the likelihood for fatality for vulnerable road users is significantly decreased,” said Gould. “Reducing speeds by just five or 10 mph over short distances really doesn’t change or add a whole lot of travel time for people; it really only adds about one minute of travel time.” #Blacksburg #SafeStreets #VisionZero wdbj7.com/2025/07/10/blacksbur

  10. I don’t recall seeing these improvements in sunny #Blacksburg last time. Safer, more accessible, and much more piano in public space. #SafeStreets #BloomScrolling #accessibility #WarOnCars #walkable

  14. Our Hokie BugFest at Virginia Tech is in full swing. Here is a little green bee from our display showing off Virginia bee diversity. #Blacksburg #VirginiaTech

  15. Over the past two decades, civic leaders in #LasVegas; #Orlando; #Charleston, S.C.; #Parkland, Fla.; #Newtown, Conn.; #Blacksburg, Va., and other places have undertaken painstaking efforts to collect and preserve materials connected to attacks in their cities.

    Most have concentrated on documenting the outpouring of public grief left at makeshift memorials — crosses, Stars of David, stuffed animals, postcards, framed photos, letters, handicrafts, prayer blankets, candles, artwork, painted stones and other items.

    In #Pittsburgh, synagogue leaders hope that preserving the physical scars from the scene of the nation’s deadliest antisemitic attack will help animate the story of the assault on Tree of Life and provoke a more visceral reaction from those who hear it.

  17. Same song, different day. #NIMBY opposition always says they don't oppose affordable housing, BUT...

    "While opponents to the project repeatedly stressed that they are not against affordable housing, they voiced concerns over Legacy’s anticipated density and its potential impact on traffic and the surrounding neighborhood."

  18. @itsdanw I wasn't sure whether #WoodrowInstruments were some kind of scientific apparatus, but went looking, found thewoodrow.com/
    Do you play one?
    Reminds me of a N.C. fellow I met who made banjos with dulcimer-fretted fingerboards: angelfire.com/nc2/dulcijo/

    I'm in #Radford, playing mostly #mandolin in jam sessions in #Blacksburg and #Floyd -- where I combine music with relatively short hikes in the #RockyKnob and Smart View areas along the #BlueRidgeParkway
    Happy Mastodon exploring!

    Theory:
    To find "local" folks, newsies or others, put local search words in your profile as hashtags, write an intro post with local words, and maybe have your first post each day name a local publication, like #CardinalNews or #RoanokeTimes or
    #FloydPress

    I'm in #Virginia, #swVirginia #Blue Ridge #NewRiverValley
    & concerned about local news coverage

    My neighbors in #RadfordCity #Blacksburg and #FloydCounty use Facebook a lot. I would love to see them here

  21. We went to the #Blacksburg Tavern for the first time tonight. Five stars for food, price, and service. The brisket was just right and the blueberry pie was excellent.

  22. Wondering why I still haven't seen much Mastodon presence from students or faculty at #VirginiaTech (#VT) in #Blacksburg.

    What comes first, an instance or some issues? Or university administration leadership?

    The university administration maintains numerous Twitter accounts with thousands of followers, not counting all the #Hokie sports sites.
