As a Stauntonian at birth, I THANK YOU for the pronunciation tutorial for the newbies! The Depot Grille is a nice dining experience also.

@flywithflorin 11 месяцев назад

The pronunciation is everything! Haha! Thank you for watching :)

@@flywithflorin Stayed in Staunton in 1990 .The place I stayed was a hotel downtown that was also a seniors residence can't recall the name.

Thank you for watching! Staunton is a cool place.

You forgot to tell folks to visit Pufferbellies- our amazing toy store that has the most lovely window displays- especially at Christmas. And the Art Co-op shouldn't be missed either!!!

@lauramcmillan9592 Год назад

And visitors should certainly try to see The Great Grebo perform, if they can! ;)

My wife and I have had this, lighthearted, argument for years. My family being from New York, which has a Staunton - pronounced like it’s SPELLED - and her family being native Virginian from waaay back. 😂 I don’t do that to anyone else, especially when in Staunton because that would just be rude. Love the area, love the valley. One of the reasons i am willing to commute 80 miles to work is to live in the area.

Lived in Staunton for a few months in the late eighties. Beautiful Shenandoah Mountain town!

Growing up in Staunton makes return visits full of warmth. The Statler Brothers were a well known music group who are from Staunton. They performed every 4th of July for free and brought an artist friend with them. These events brought 50-100k people to Staunton every year....imagine that!!!

@flywithflorin Год назад

I love the Statlers!

I grew up a few miles down the road on Springhill Rd and remember us sitting in the front yard watching the fireworks and being able to hear them perform from the park

Great video about an absolutely lovely town. I am from Germany and have been there twice to visit my fiance. One place i missed which is very exicting for visitors from Europe or at least from Germany. Wright's Dairy-Rite should be mentioned. I felt like in an american movie while sitting in the car and order my dinner :-) We do not have something like this here in Germany and so it special for international travellers. Can hardly wait to visit Staunton again .

@flywithflorin Год назад

Yes, Staunton is an interesting and magical little town. I hope you make it back soon! Thanks for watching.

I am thinking of moving there and if you do too wir konnen Deutsch sprechen - ich brauche Ubung!

@heidipersch2483 Год назад

@@cchip55 i still hope my finance is moving to Germany. Unfortunately out of private reasons I am not able to move somewhere at the moment (i care for my old aunt). Jedoch können wir gerne deutsch sprechen wenn wir uns begegnen. Würde gerne helfen bei der Übung 😃 may I kindly ask for what reason you speak german?

@cchip55 Год назад

@@heidipersch2483 Gruss Gott Heidi! Thank you for responding to my message. I studied German in Hochschule (now most secondary schools in the U.S. no longer offer it in favor of Spanish or Mandarin or Arabic now). Spater ich habe in Osterreich gewohnen fur mich 'junior year abroad' bei universitat. I apologize I don't know how to add the correct punctuation like umlauts on my computer! I have known to go up to travelers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland who are visiting the U.S. to try to get some practice with my German ;) If your fiance doesn't move to Germany and you eventually move to Staunton, let me know - or if I move to Staunton, I will let you know. That way if we both end up living there wir konnen treffen fur kafe und kuchen und Deustch sprechen!

Nice video. I am also a Staunton resident. While Gloria's is good nothing compares to the Shenandoah Pizza Inferno wings. The sauce is made with ghost peppers home grown and provided by an employee and they switch up the sauce around every week or 2 although it always tastes amazing. I am a little biased as I do work there, but the Baja Bean is also a good place to eat if you are looking for Mexican. The fajitas and chimichangas are fantastic. There is also the Depot which provides good scenery with a glass seating area atop a hill that looks over the whole of Staunton and right above that is the Staunton bridge which provides more great photo opportunities/stunning views and connects to a park where you can admire Staunton in its entirety.

Just went to Barren Ridge after watching this video. It was nice. The wine was okay and the atmosphere was great. Well worth the stop.

Very informative video. A few comments: The shops you discuss are not on "Main Street". They are along E. Beverley St. (runs one way southbound.) Also. Staunton is the Statler Brothers' hometown. Even though none of the members were named "Statler".) AMTRAK's Cardinal Train between NY and Chicago stops in Staunton 3 days a week.

Staunton is indeed a gem. Good call! Abingdon is a great place also.

Should also try and explore the grounds of the Blackburn inn ! That property is amazing and has a lot of history in it as well! That hotel is beautiful as well was definitely good that these buildings were flipped into something beautiful

Wrights dairy rite is my favorite restaurant in Staunton and the Fishin Pig in Waynesboro

@flywithflorin Год назад

Staunton classic for sure. They have some of the best onion rings around. Thanks for watching.

@rickhughesprints Год назад

Some good info. When you mention authentic food, maybe mention authentic Southern food as well? In fact, Staunton is known as a foodie town, so maybe even just mentioning some of the best food options would help. Thanks. By the way, you make a very good presenter.

@rogersnead7059 11 месяцев назад

How about the stories of Mary Gray and Betsy Bell Mountains. Or at least mention that Staunton was the Capitol for three days located at the Trinity Episcopal Church. Or how about that Francis Collins was born there. Or a little about Western State Hospital and it's history. Please think about doing an addendum to include more history and less food.

the only thing i am curious about is what kind of vehicle were you in when you made this video it looks like a nice interior so would appreciate finding out what kind of vehicle

@BaxterTheBiker 8 месяцев назад

Are they still closing some of the downtown streets in the evenings for pedestrians only, with outside dining and shops staying open later? And there's Shenandoah Park nearby along with the northern entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
