Augusta Correctional Center

The Augusta Correctional Center was a state prison for men located near Craigsville in Augusta County, Virginia, United States. Owned and operated by the Virginia Department of Corrections, the facility opened in 1986 and had a working capacity of 1,222 prisoners held at a level 3 security level. Inmates must have no disruptive behavior for 2 years to be considered to be transferred to a less secure facility. Planned Closure In December 2023, VADOC announced that Augusta Correctional Center, along with three other state correctional facilities, would be permanently closed effective July 1, 2024. Reasons cited for the closure included the difficulty in hiring and retaining new employees to fill vacancies at the prison. VADOC estimated that Augusta was spending over one million dollars annually on employee overtime. There were also concerns about the safety of staff in light of the low number of employees, as the reduced workforce could lead to increased risks of incidents and inadequate supervision of inmates. Reports indicate that the prison site was under contract for purchase in April 2026. Notable prisoners Montie Rissell, serial killer Anthony Briley, one of the Briley Brothers References
Indian Creek Correctional Center

The Indian Creek Correctional Center (ICCC) is a Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) state prison for men. The prison is located in Chesapeake, Virginia, United States, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) north of the North Carolina border. The facility was opened in 1994 and specializes in long-term treatment of incarcerated substance abusers. The medium security facility houses inmates in dormitory-style quarters, split into six housing units. In June 2008, the prison had an average daily population of 1,002 inmates. The ICCC is adjacent to VADOC's St. Brides Correctional Center, which houses inmates not requiring specialized treatment for substance abuse. History In April 2014, reports of inmates being medically neglected were picked up by local media. One allegation described an inmate as being misdiagnosed with kidney stones by medical staff, who over the course of three months lost approximately 50 pounds (23 kg), and was later discovered through delayed testing to have terminal pancreatic cancer. Another inmate was alleged to have reported heart attack symptoms to medical staff, and was treated with Advil and was given a suggestion to schedule a follow-up appointment. The inmate allegedly died that night of the heart attack. The American Civil Liberties Union has accused the for-profit companies contracted by the Virginia Department of Corrections of withholding medical care to reduce expenses. On November 8, 2014, inmate Dai’Yaan Qamar Longmire, 19, committed suicide while in solitary confinement at Indian Creek Correctional Center. A lawsuit filed by Longmire's mother against the Virginia Department of Corrections and ICCC, states he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and anxiety before his incarceration in May 2014. The lawsuit alleges VADOC did not provide Longmire with medication for his conditions, which he had been taking prior to imprisonment. The suit further alleges prison staff failed to take precautionary measures for an inmate with a history of mental illness, such as placing Longmire on suicide watch, or removing bedding and other objects he could use to injure himself. Longmire had been held in solitary confinement as a punitive measure for misconduct from October 5, 2014, until his death, 34 days later. In May 2016, nine inmates suspected of using scheduled narcotics were hospitalized with overdose symptoms. One of the inmates tested positive for opioids. The Virginia Department of Corrections stated procedural changes to visitation by the public may stem as a result of the incident.

Marys Rock Tunnel

The Marys Rock Tunnel is a vehicular tunnel in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Located at mile marker 32.2 on Skyline Drive, the scenic byway that traverses the length of Shenandoah National Park, it is the only vehicular tunnel in the park. Constructed in 1932 by workers employed with the Civilian Conservation Corps, the tunnel workers took three months to drill and blast through the east slopes of Mary's Rock (3,514 ft (1,071 m)). The two lane tunnel is 670 ft (200 m) long and only 12 ft 8 in (3.86 m) high, so recreational vehicles and taller trucks need to check their height restrictions before traveling through it.

Markel Building

The Markel Building is an office building commissioned by the Markel Corporation and designed by Haigh Jamgochian (1924–2019) located on Markel Road just outside the city limits of Richmond, Virginia in Henrico County. The building was inspired by a baked potato wrapped in foil served to Jamgochian while attending an American Institute of Architects' dinner. The exterior siding of each floor consists of a single 555-foot piece of aluminum, the longest unbroken pieces of aluminum ever used as siding material. The architect personally hammered some of the wrinkles on the top story. This is the only extant building by Jamgochian, the son of Armenian Genocide survivors. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places May 8, 2017. References
Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington

The Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (MOCA Arlington) is a non-collecting contemporary art museum and visual arts center in the Virginia Square neighborhood of Arlington County, Virginia, established in 1974. Housed since 1976 in the historic Maury School (formerly the Clarendon School), it presents artwork by regional artists in the Mid-Atlantic. The museum hosts exhibitions, educational programs and subsidized studio spaces, and seeks to increase awareness, appreciation of, and involvement in the visual arts in Arlington County and the Washington metropolitan area. At 17,000 square feet, the facility includes nine exhibition galleries, working studios for twelve artists and two classrooms, and is one of the largest non-federal venues for contemporary art in the Capital Region. Formerly the Arlington Arts Center (AAC), the center rebranded as MOCA Arlington in September 2022. Exhibitions MOCA Arlington organizes around 12 exhibitions a year. Exhibition proposals are announced and submissions are reviewed by the exhibitions committee, which includes notable artists, critics, curators, and collectors. After the selection of those artists, solos, juried and curated exhibitions are planned, resulting in a sampler of art in a variety of media. The museum also exhibits themed shows, usually twice per year. These shows usually grab the attention of local arts publication writers and arts bloggers. The Washington Post, Pink Line Project and DCist usually cover the shows. Themed shows are generally accompanied by programming that helps explain the exhibition (sometimes they can be really theoretical) and gives the artist’s perspective to the audience. Education MOCA Arlington offers classes for adults, teens and children to help the beginners or the professional to improve their artistic skills. The teachers are professional artists and many of whom have achieved the highest degrees in their field. The classes are about photography, sculpture, painting or drawing. Moreover, the museum offers classes for home-schooled children but also bilingual classes for students who want to learn and practice another language. Studio Residency MOCA Arlington rents subsidized studio space for 12 artists where they can work and express themselves in an artistic community. The selection is based on artistic merit, potential for collaborative outreach to the community, and diversity of artist representation. The artists come from across the US and abroad for periods from one week to six weeks residencies. References

Arlington Arts Center

L'Arlington Arts Center (AAC) est un centre d'arts visuels contemporains basé à Arlington en Virginie. Créé en 1974, ce centre est hébergé depuis 1976 à l'école primaire Maury School. L'AAC expose des travaux d'artistes locaux venus des États Mid-Atlantic. Le centre organise des expositions, des programmes éducatifs, et met à disposition des studios subventionnés. Son objectif est de sensibiliser et impliquer dans les arts visuels la population du comté d'Arlington et de sa région. Sur plus de 1500 mètres carrés, les installations incluent 9 galeries d'exposition, des studios pour 13 artistes et deux salles de classe, et constituent l'un des lieux les plus vastes consacrés à l'art contemporain dans la zone métropolitaine de Washington. L'AAC possède 3 différents programmes pour promouvoir l'art sur la Côte Est des États-Unis. En septembre 2022, l'Arlington Arts Center devient le Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (Musée d'art contemporain d'Arlington). Expositions L'AAC organise chaque année 12 expositions en moyenne. Dans un premier temps, les propositions d'exposition sont annoncées par le centre, puis examinées par le comité des expositions comprenant des artistes, critiques, conservateurs et collectionneurs à la notoriété bien établie. Une fois la sélection faite, un agenda des expositions est organisé. Il rassemble alors un échantillon remarquable d'artistes d'avant-garde exerçant à travers une large palette de médias. L'ACC programme également des spectacles à thème, deux fois par an en règle générale. Ces spectacles avant-gardistes attirent souvent l'attention des journaux d'arts locaux et autres blogueurs. Le Washington Post, Pink Line Project et DCist couvrent régulièrement ces évènements. Les spectacles à thème sont accompagnés d'un programme (parfois très théorique) qui aide à mieux comprendre l'exposition et transmet à l'audience la perspective de l'artiste. Éducation L'AAC dispense des cours pour adultes, adolescents et enfants afin d'aider les débutants comme les professionnels à améliorer leurs compétences en matière d'art. Les professeurs sont des artistes professionnels. Nombre d'entre eux ont suivi une longue formation universitaire dans leur domaine. Les cours sont proposés dans quatre domaines : la peinture, la sculpture, la photographie et le dessin. Le centre offre également des cours pour les enfants scolarisés à domicile, ainsi que des cours bilingues pour les étudiants souhaitant apprendre et pratiquer une langue étrangère. Les Studios L'AAC loue des studios subventionnés pouvant accueillir 13 artistes qui ont ainsi l'occasion de travailler dans un environnement favorable à l'expression artistique. La sélection se fonde sur le mérite artistique, le potentiel à collaborer pour sensibiliser la communauté et la diversité du travail de l'artiste. Qu'ils résident dans ou à l'extérieur des États-Unis, les artistes peuvent postuler pour une période de résidence allant d'une à six semaines.

Camp Rock Enon

Camp Rock Enon or CRE is a Boy Scouts of America resident summer camp for both younger and older youth with high adventure opportunities. The mineral springs of the area afforded the development of a resort in 1856. In 1944 the resort and most of the land began the conversion to youth development resources. The summer camp includes familiar outdoor programs like aquatics, camping, cooking, fishing, handicraft, and shooting sports, yet also includes less common programs like canyoneering, rappelling, rock climbing, scuba, space exploration, volleyball, white water rafting, and wilderness survival. The property includes 14 campsites that accommodate from 16 to 56 campers, as well as a dining hall that can serve 450. History Most of the area history is wrapped around the four (alkaline, saline, chalybeate, and sulphuretted) types of mineral water springs that naturally occur on the land. The area was once called Capper Springs, named for area settler John Capper. William Marker bought the 942 acres (381 ha) in 1856 and built a hotel that survived the American Civil War. On March 24, 1899 the Shenandoah Valley National Bank purchased the property for $3,500. During the summer of 1914 botanists found a wide variety of ferns on the property. The idea that soaking in the spring water had medical value was likely a large part of the tourism. In 1917 the Winchester and Western Railroad stopped at Rock Enon Springs. In 1944, when that healing idea was likely no longer generally accepted as true, the Glaize family sold the property to the Shenandoah Area Council who turned what was once a resort into a summer camp. In 1944, Miller Lake was created by adding an earth dam across Laruel Run using equipment owned by the Federal Fish Hatchery in Leestown. In 1958 "walnut, chestnut and persimmon trees" were planted on the property. Today Rock Enon is accredited as both a Cub Scout resident camp and a Boy Scout camp. Facilities Each of the 14 campsites contains a bulletin board, campfire circle, cots, flag pole, latrine, pavilion, picnic tables, wash station, and either two person wall tents or Adirondack shelters. Poland Lodge dining hall, named for Shenandoah Area Council president Bonn A. Poland Sr. who spent weekends using a bulldozer to excavate Miller Lake, can accommodate 450 at a time. The activities building dates back to at least 1989. While all Scout camps include some form of a health lodge, Rock Enon is one of the few that have a medical staff that includes a board certified physician. The camp has a shower house for youth that can accommodate 350 campers and another for adults that can accommodate 100 campers each week. In 2013 the camp planned to add another shower house with commodes near the Molden Shooting Sports area. Other facilities include a handicraft lodge, trading post, and troop lodge. In 2010, the Order of the Arrow worked more than 5,000 service hours at the camp. See also References

Canale dei fiumi James e Kanawha

Il canale dei fiumi James e Kanawha è stato un canale della Virginia costruito per facilitare la navigazione di imbarcazioni passeggeri e merci fra le aree occidentali del fiume James (fiume) (Virginia) e quelle orientali del fiume Kanawha (fiume). Valutato e pianificato da George Washington, i suoi lavori cominciarono nel 1785 e fu completato solo nel 1851. Pur essendo in teoria un utile strumento per il trasporto, il canale non poteva affrontare in modo concorrenziale la ferrovia e, al di là degli alti costi di esecuzione (assunti dallo Stato della Virginia), il canale subì di frequente i danni causati dalle inondazioni e, dopo la guerra di secessione, fu smantellato in favore di un tronco ferroviario negli anni Settanta del XIX secolo.

Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress

Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress (ICAO: KNFE, FAA LID: NFE) is a military use airport located in Chesapeake, Virginia. This military airport is owned by the U.S. Navy and is under the operational control of Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia. The airfield primarily supports day and night Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) operations by US Navy and US Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet, and US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound aircraft based in Virginia and the Carolinas. Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned NFE by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA. Facilities Fentress NALF has one operational runway designated Runway 5/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 8,004 by 175 feet (2,440 x 53 m). Four additional shorter paved runways dating from the airfield's original construction during World War II are located in the airfield's northern quadrant. These additional runways are closed to aircraft. On 5 July 2011, it was announced that NALF Fentress would close in January 2012 for 9 months for major repairs. Touch and go maneuvers would move to Naval Air Station Oceana and Naval Station Norfolk Chambers Field. As of 15 October 2012 the airfield was reopened. Encroachment issues At the end of June 2014 the Chesapeake City Council voted unanimously to use city and state funds, who plan to put up about $1 million each, to buy property near the Fentress Naval airport in order to prevent encroachment onto the airfield. This is similar to a program of Virginia Beach, Virginia and the state of Virginia regarding Naval Air Station Oceana.
