Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues, sites and events in the Page Valley
By Randy Arrington
LURAY, Dec. 18 — This week we sit down with longtime Luray Realtor Bill Dudley and Luray Councilman Alex White to discuss the rising number of applications to operate lodging houses and other short-term rentals in the Town of Luray.
While this is an issue that has been discussed at the county level and in all three towns, the highest increase has been seen in Luray. So, how big of an issue is it? How is it impacting the local housing market? How is the Luray Council addressing it? We’ll dive into these questions and more, as we discuss — not debate — the pros and cons of a growing short-term rental market. Our goal is to simply provide some data, some industry insight, and further the public discourse.
We also take a look at the “week that was” in the Page Valley with a review of news headlines and sports, while also taking a look at “the weekend ahead” with upcoming events in the Page Valley.
(Page Valley Livin’ ~ Episode 50 was recorded on Monday, Dec. 16 and first aired Wednesday, Dec. 18).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’ll look back at the 2024 Luray Christmas parade, and then we’ll celebrate one year of Page Valley Livin’ with highlights from the first 51 episodes.
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.
