Woodstock, VA
“Wander Woodstock” is an event where merchants and crafts people set up booths on the sidewalk near the courthouse. I took Charlie to investigate. He sniffed all the smells, and we briefly went in a store where dogs are welcome.
I remembered to take a picture. I don’t get as many street scenes as some photographers do, partly because I don’t like to intrude, but also because there’s not as much street life here as you see in a place where people walk around town a lot. Most people drive their cars, park near a store or restaurant, and go in without lingering outside. It’s kind of a shame because many towns are charming if you take the time to explore.
Events like this one seek to bring people downtown. Much of commerce today takes place out by the interstate exit, where the fast food chains and big box stores can be found.
