14. Sweet! Floyd, VA is a great little town--food co-op, arts, and this downtown-wide weekly jam.

Mr. Femmedem and I traveled through on our last (only) real vacation, specifically to enjoy the jam session. There were musicians not just in the general store, but outside everywhere you looked.

Interesting cultural mix, at least a decade ago. Part crunchy, part conservative. But the music was something everyone could come together to enjoy.

What a great way to introduce our future VP. I'm not a fan of some of his policies, but this helps me not to prejudge him.
