Staunton, Virginia- Community Branding Project

Posted by Ben Muldrow on January 15, 2012 in Community Branding | 0 comments

Staunton, Virginia has carved a special place in our hearts. This, the Queen City of the Shenandoah, is an architectural wonder, a true surprise along the 81 corridor, home of the American Shakespeare Theater, and of our dear friends, Bill and Kathy Fraizer.

We discovered some many cool things while working on this project, Gypsy Hill park, Newtown Baking, Queen City Brewing, etc.

If you like a place where a thriving city sets its grid into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
If you like striking views, spires and domes, and hilly streets.

If you like a city of history where restored buildings house hip restaurants, shops, and galleries.

If you like intrigue where you turn at the giant watering can to find a wharf with no water, where presidents are born and circus people are remembered.

If you like the plays of Shakespeare or sustainable architecture.

If you like to gather in the park to hear a civic band that has been playing since 1855.

If you like a place where folks swap tips on how to restore historic homes, and where people take to the streets to celebrate.

If you like a place where the independent spirit thrives in gifted artists and musicians and where the solitude of the mountains is just a short drive away.

If you like a place of learning where colleges and schools inspire our youth.  If you like a place where high tech meets down home.

We are that place…
the Queen City of the Shenandoah where the spires of the city
are our crown.
We are Staunton, Virginia…
As you like it.
