Especially in the summer, but, really, any time of year, our corner of Appalachia puts on a light show at dusk every night. The sunsets are serene, colorful and vibrant at the same time. And the scenery surrounding – the forests and the foothills – make the whole situation something to see. 

Winter break is probably the quietest time of the year here. Court Street at night is all lit-up for the holidays, and it’s beautiful, but noticeably bereft of the usual throngs of students bar-hopping and having fun. Every year when spring comes around, it’s almost like uptown is reborn.
