Hotel Weyanoke - Farmville, Virginia

I have a postcard and stationery from the 'best hotel within 50 miles' in Farmville, Virginia. It doesn't seem to exist anymore, but I don't think it burned down...because it was advertised as fireproof.

How to Hold a Child

You can often tell by the way adults hold a child whether they have children of their own.  In this case, the adults may be the grandparents, and they have just become less comfortable with small children over time.  They are certainly not the parents, and the smaller infant seems to be questioning their credentials.

Dothan, Alabama

The name of the city comes from Genesis 37:17: "let us go to Dothan."
Dothan has been proclaimed the 'peanut capital of the world', but then it seems so has Enterprise, Alabama, and Sylvester, Georgia, and Suffolk, Virginia. You get the idea; there are a lot of peanuts there.

Sadly, what looks to have been a fairly lively downtown doesn't appear to be so lively anymore.
