Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues in the Page Valley, while also reporting the Week in Review and checking out the Weekend Ahead
By Randy Arrington
LURAY, May 8 — An old movie house in Downtown Stanley that used to show war films and old westerns in the 1920s, is now getting new life. The Daughter of the Stars Theater and Cultural Center at 186 East Main Street will hold a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 17. The next evening, Nelson Cade III, a former contestant on the television show “The Voice”, will perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $18 online, or $20 at the door.

This week, we’ll be talking with Patrick Burns, the man who made all of this possible. We’ll talk about the potential he saw in a 1/2-acre plot along Stanley’s Main Street, his love for history and making documentaries, as well as his plans for a downtown eatery and further improvements to the Town’s newest entertainment venue and cultural cornerstone.
As always, we’ll look back at “the week that was” in the Page Valley with a review of news headlines and sports scores, and we’ll tell you about some upcoming events to look out for this weekend.
(Page Valley Livin’ ~ Episode 23 was recorded on Tuesday, May 7 and first aired Wednesday, May 8).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’re working on shows that will share details about upcoming spring events. We’re also open to ideas…if you have one for an upcoming show — an interesting person you know (or want to know) with an interesting story — send us an email or provide a comment below.
The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
If you have suggestions for future shows or other recommendations, comment below…or comment on our videos on YouTube. If you like even a portion of what you see, please don’t forget to hit “Like” and Share the video, and smash that “Subscribe” button on our YouTube channel.
