winchester virginia

an old quaint southern town in northwestern virginia, the shenandoah valley...they are very proud of this parade called appleblossom which is pretty much the one time when it doesn't feel like a ghost town...the highschool looks like a university...the university looks like a middle school...it's a strong recovery town, lots of aa meetings, and rehab/recovery programs such as New Lifestyles, Edgehill, and ...some other big detox hospital i can't remember the name of...home to celebrities such as Stephen Bossidy (living) and Patsy Cline (dead)
and they have two walmart supercenters...and a street called walmart drive...it's pretty much the only place you see people actually walking around.

me: i got sent away to this rehab program.
friend: where?
me: winchester virginia.
friend: oh...um..where the fuck is that?
me: middle of nowhere
friend: is it nice?
me: if you're into walmart, ghost towns, and aa, then yeah, awesome.
