    Stellars….

    These 7 Virginia Cities Are Celebrating America’s 250th Where It All Started

    By Heather Bien – Published on July 01, 2026

    This is the year to revisit your history lessons. If you’re looking to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, the obvious choice is to return to where the Founding Fathers celebrated that very first year. From George Washington to Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and James Madison, four out of the first five U.S. Presidents called the Old Dominion home.

      Good mornin’, Lucille! When I was a young sprout we went to Colonial Williamsburg and some of the sites in the area, and I spent a month in DC about 30 years ago and saw much more. I could easily spend another month in that part of the Country, and still not see everything. So, let’s have coffee instead.

        Morning T! If you ever have the opportunity to vacation in the Shenandoah Valley area, I highly recommend it, not only for beauty, but a million cool things to do. Lived in the shadow of the Smokies my whole life, and y’all know I love them. The Blue Ridge and Shenandoah area of Virginia certainly lives up to my mountain loving expectations, and the valleys are deep green, magical.

        We stayed for a week, and DC was a long day trip for most of our party, could have been more if there wasn’t so much else on the list. Went Gettysburg, Antietam, Harper’s Ferry. Too many things to name. I almost decided to drive a bit longer and see Chesapeake Bay.

        That area really needs more than a week! We spent a lot of time on the historical stuff, but there’s just as much hiking, fishing, and touristy stuff, probably shopping too, but shoot me first on that!

        Texan, sorry, I swear I responded to your post this morning. Apparently the lack of coffee at the time made me delirious.

        I’ve never been to Virginia or WDC. Usually spent vacations in Canada except for the couple of trips to New York City in the 60s when John Lindsay was mayor. NYC was so safe then I walked around by myself at night.

        “Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end!”

      Good afternoon, Lucille!

      My, but you have been busy.

      Good afternoon, also to:

      Tex, our coffee hero.

      Menagerie, a superb narrator of life.

      Miz Wee, the one and only.

      Czarina, who makes every day special.

      And Miss Stella, our extraordinary hostess.

      And all those who come to “Stella’s Place”.

      Sometimes, I just have to sit back and say, “Thank You”.

    Good mornin’, and happy Friday eve. Since we’re getting ready to celebrate a really big birthday, I thought we needed a nice birthday present a couple days early. This is a $13,000 steampunk model. I have no idea how the thing operates yet, so all help is welcome. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.

    Mornin’ All. It is about 60* here, heading to maybe 75* later this afternoon. It feels comfortable outside and the sun is shining bright. My sympathies to all in that 100* heat. My friend in Florida is using one of those fans that you put around your neck and it seems to help a lot with the heat. It looks a little like a pair of earphones.

    Be careful and enjoy the day.

    America 250: Washington, D.C. Has Never Looked More Majestic — The Department of Commerce Draped in Monumental American Flags!

    As the United States prepares to celebrate America 250, Washington, D.C. is transforming into a breathtaking patriotic showcase. The historic Herbert C. Hoover Building, home to the U.S. Department of Commerce, now features colossal American flags adorning its exterior, creating one of the Capital’s most awe-inspiring displays.

    Along the iconic Pennsylvania Avenue corridor, these monumental banners symbolize the nation’s history, resilience, and the excitement building toward the 250th anniversary of American independence.

    ⭐ Fun Fact: The Herbert C. Hoover Building was completed in 1932 and is one of the largest federal office buildings in Washington, D.C. Stretching across an entire city block, it anchors the Federal Triangle and sits just steps from many of the nation’s most iconic landmarks.
