New River Valley Finds
The Bee’s Knees: Stuff we Dig! is your insider’s guide to the good stuff! Our most adored spaces, places, and treasures from around the towns of our five Nest Realty locations. Here’s our finds from the New River Valley:
#1: Historic House
To enjoy a piece of preserved history, visit the Alexander Black House in Blacksburg, Virginia. The former home of Alexander Black, a well-known citizen who founded the Bank of Blacksburg, was carefully and painstakingly moved from its original location in 2002. The restored home now serves as a Cultural Center, hosting art exhibits and special programming throughout the year.
#2: Comedy Club
Every Wednesday night in Blacksburg, Virginia, the college bar, Top of the Stairs, transforms into a comedy club. Inspired by comedians like Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle, funny man Anthony Quinn hosts the weekly show. Local and national comedians perform for the 18 and over audience. As with any good comedy venue, the room can get a bit rowdy, so drink up, buttercup.
#3: Cupcakes
The Gobble Cakes shop in Blacksburg, Virginia, is so cute it will make your cheeks hurt from smiling. The only cure is to enjoy one of the chocolate salted caramel cupcakes—rich chocolate cake with creamy caramel cream cheese icing, topped with caramel sauce and sea salt. Located steps away from the Virginia Tech campus, it’s easy to see why this is a favorite afternoon sugar rush for students and faculty.
