Just west of the small town of Lewisburg, WVA on Rt. 219 is one of the world’s best places to eat a hot dog. I should know, because I grew up in Lewisburg and spent many an hour at the old drive in. Back in the early 60’s, we would go to Jim’s, order a couple dogs all the way with an order of fries and a frosty mug of root beer and have change left over from a dollar bill. Prices have gone up … [Read more...]
VSGA Time
Boy, we saved a bundle on greens fees last year – my golf amigos and me. We all had VSGA cards and I expect we used them 10 times each. Now it’s time to renew for 2017 and get ready for a great year of golf at some amazing course throughout Virginia and even into West Virginia. Since 1904, the VSGA has been dedicated to providing golfers a full range of services for the good of the game and … [Read more...]

Let’s Do the Twist
Young Boomers danced a lot. We danced in the gym at lunch hour and again on Friday nights at dance hops after football games. We danced at private gatherings of our friends in basements and garages and we danced at the swimming pool, community centers and country clubs. Until August 6, 1960, we did one of three dances – the jitterbug, the stroll or a slow dance. But on that fateful afternoon, … [Read more...]

The Ivy Inn
Charlottesville, Virginia, home of CvilleBuzz, had around 225 restaurants at last count. That’s a lot of choices, but if I had special guests coming to town, price was no object and I wanted to make sure they dined at one of Charlottesville’s very finest restaurants, I would take them to the Ivy Inn. Over the years, my wife Nancy and I have had many enjoyable meals at The Inn (mostly … [Read more...]
English Cucumbers
My cucumber patch gave out long ago, but the grocery store cukes have been decent – until recently. For the last month or so, the regular slicing cucumbers I have purchased have been over-ripe with huge seeds and generally poor. So recently I tried the English cucumbers instead and they have been excellent. They have also been on sale on several occasions, once for a buck apiece – a terrific … [Read more...]

A Bunch of Horse Manure
“How would you like a load of horse manure for your Christmas present this year?” stated the email from my close friend, Tim Tigner. Not many would think of a load of horse s…. as a particularly great gift, but I did. My garden desperately needed it, and a few weeks ago, Tim brought me a pickup load of composted horse manure. Cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, green beans, beets – get ready to … [Read more...]
