I live in Blacksburg Va for 15 years, have family still there. But I want my husband and I to move back to Va soon, its a great state. I have always thought Winchester Va was a beautiful and special place and would love to make it our home. Thanks for the great pictures which help me to see more and more places there.

I was borned in Winchester in 1950, lived there briefly and moved to Florida/Southern California (San Clemente). Visited relatives every summer during the 60's/70's. I still go back and remember all the good times...with my relatives...The Roe's. You did an excellent job with the gallery. Winchester will always remain very special to me and I hope to return someday for good.

John Kupsch 27-Nov-2008 21:24
Whenever I think of my years in Winchester, I think of you and your pictures. They
show to me Winchester and Virginia just the way I remember it. Thank you for
these great impressions.

A certain writer - one of your countrymen - Bill Bryson, has written extensively about Small Town America. His work is very popular over here in the UK. He evokes images in the mind's eye about what rural America is like - and Naomi, your photography brings Bill's images of words to REAL life... Lovely gallery.

My son graduated from Handley in 2007 and is attending college in Claremont, California. I use your pics at the end of my emails to him to remind him of some of his favorite spots (SW Grill,Daily Grind,etc). I also really like your Handley gallery. Thanks so much.
meesh24-Nov-2007 13:44
Any of these would make a great addition to the visitor center's gallery!
Yvonne Merriam14-Nov-2007 23:29
Thanks for a wonderful tour through what could very well be every eastern American's hometown. Despite being nearly 1000 miles north of you, I see many similarities to my own home.

Naomi 13-Nov-2007 12:34
I have devoted a separate gallery to historic John Handley High School.
Stewa Foremanrt 13-Nov-2007 12:02
The Daily Grind, and a Pawn Shop, but no Handley High School?
Chad Rusk 13-Nov-2007 01:50
I was born and raised here until I moved to Norfolk to go to school and, I have to say you did a fantastic job representing Winchester with your photos. I love this little town and always look forward to our trips there.
Guest 31-Oct-2007 20:50
A very interesting tour of your town - I wish more English towns would maintain their character like yours has. Thanks!
Guest 31-Oct-2007 19:34
A fine gallery of Winchester, Naomi. I visited it last year and enjoyed the town, particularly the historic section. My mother-in-law attended high school in Winchester.
Colin Clarke05-Oct-2007 19:37
Fabulous coverage of a lovely town. Your local Chamber of Commerce must be begging you for the pictures ... ~V~
Chris Spracklen13-Sep-2007 12:59
Great to catch a glimpse of your home turf, Naomi.
Nice work throughout.
Kind regards, Chris

I am thinking of moving to Winchester from Liverpool as I wish to reside in a peaceful town where there is no risk of violence for my kids. Would you recommend it? Thanks, Vivienne.
Guest 07-Apr-2007 09:19
What a beautiful place, it looks so lovely and peaceful. You captured it in a beautiful way Naomi...my compliments.
Naomi 15-Feb-2007 17:35
In response to Angel: I will be adding more photos to this gallery in the spring. You can view the surrounding countryside on my "Scenes from the Shenandoah Valley" gallery.

Guest 15-Feb-2007 17:29
Great pictures Naomi. Could you post more pictures of what the city looks like? More homes, streets, mountain views? Something more to give a "feel" of what one would encounter when first coming into Winchester.

Thanks,
Angel

Great Job! I'm a former resident of Winchester now living in Va. Beach. I miss Winchester terribly and hope to go back home in the near future.

Gee, we're practically neighbors. I've been to Winchester, as my work has taken me to Martinsburg and Shepherdstown in the past. It is a beautiful area.
Greg 26-Jun-2006 17:59
As a Winchester native living in North Carolina, it was pleasant to see some beautiful pics of my beautiful hometown. You captured the essence of it.
