Wounded Warriors Welcomed at Boulder Crest Retreat
·
I first learned of Boulder Crest Retreat earlier this summer through a golf tournament hosted by the Knights of Columbus. Just off of Snickersville Turnpike in Bluemont, Boulder Crest was created to be a place for seriously wounded veterans and their families to reconnect during their recovery and rehabilitation. Founded by Ken Falke and Fred Malek, the…

Having Some Fun at White’s Ferry
·
I know it’s technically in Maryland, but at least one side of White’s Ferry is in LoCo. Located just north of Leesburg on Route 15, there is more to this place than just a tranquil ride to Montgomery County. Founded in 1817, the original operation was known as Conrad’s (pronounced Coonrod’s) Ferry. Virginia farmers used it to…

Let’s Have a Brew, or Fourteen…
·
LoCo is known as wine and horse country, but if the expansion of local breweries continues we’re gonna have to add beer to that list. I prefer the stronger stuff myself, but there are plenty of options for those of you who want something other than what’s available at the store. Since 2011, we have…

LoCo Beans Adds Their Flavor to Loudoun
·
December 2007 is when Heather wrote the first post on this blog and LoCo became part of our vernacular. We had lived here for 8 years at that point, and I had never heard anyone use that nickname for the county. Not saying she coined the phrase, but here we are almost six years later…

Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club, in Round Hill, has a little more history than most clubs in LoCo. The original manor house was built by the James family in 1852, renowned stone masons of Loudoun County. Many original structures still stand, including the barn and Founder’s Cottage. During World War I, William E. Dodd, the US…

LoCo Photo: Let There be Lights!
·
This may look like an ordinary photo, but to parents of Western Loudoun ball players it’s a sight for sore eyes. With the installation of lights at the four ball fields of Franklin Park in Purcellville, Western Loudoun now has three softball fields and five baseball fields available for use during the fall seasons. Including…

LoCo’s Top Spots for a Little Fresh Air with Dinner
·
Sometimes on a rainy day you have to have a little fun. Here’s a list of our favorite places to eat outside in LoCo: Downtown Leesburg has a number of excellent choices. Döner Bistro is a little taste of Germany, just don’t expect any utensils. Right next door, MacDowell Brew Kitchen features craft beers brewed on site and is another great spot…

Yesterday I was invited to a media tour for the new Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at One Loudoun (thanks Alden and Stephanie!), which is set to open May 3.
