Harrisonburg? Come on now...


DP. Yes, Harrisonburg. It's a cute college town filled with school spirit in the middle of a beautiful valley.

This is Charlottesville, Harrisonburg and Blacksburg. What point are you making?

Why not? The bars there seem to have a cool, quirky vibe.

Sure things have changed since I attended 90 years ago, but as I recall none of the bars are near campus. Everyone had to drunk drive somewhere.


DD goes there and we have eaten at some of those places. They aren’t far from campus and close to where the off campus students live.

Yes. Yes, it is. It’s certainly not Charlottesville.

Why Not? It’s got tremendous spirit and a lively bar/restaurant scene immediately off campus that is almost exclusively college kids.

DS is living on campus at GMU and having a good time. The school has really come a looong way in terms of activities and school spirit, but Fairfax isn’t like Blacksburg on game day.
