Name: R Thomas Cummings CommentsBorn in Big Stone Gap eighty three years ago!
Name: Ernie Kelly CommentsChristmas 2004 “Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Gap Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The museum was closed and sitting on Popular Hill Outside the snow began falling… The town was completely still. At the stroke of midnight, the mansion shook to its core, And through the mystery of Christmas it was nineteen sixty four. Forty years gone in a flash as time turned inside out. The night sparked with miracles and magic was all about. I could see all over town…. the Trail and the Country Boy Pool, The Wildcat, Cadet, Southern, Mike’s, Jack’s and Carmine’s too. There was Powell Valley Drive-in and Crackers Neck And down by the high school stood old St. Nick. The students were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of presents danced in their heads. While mid-term finals were just a week away The teachers had the tests packed in their sleigh. When out in the parking lot there rose such a clatter I jumped to my feet to see what was the matter. I ran to the gymnasium quick as a flash Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave a luster of midday to the objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should I see But eight of my teachers with a huge Christmas tree. Mr. Horton was out in front, so lively and quick I knew in a moment he was dressed as old St. Nick. More rapid than eagles, his courses he came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name: Now Broadwater! Now Brooks! Now Dingus! Now Darnell! On Raines! On Read! On McChesney and Maddux too! To the top of the porch! To the upstairs hall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all! As quick as bunnies they hurried along Cheering and laughing and singing their song. They were pulling a sleigh filled to the top And by each class room they skidded to a stop. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on each desk The crackling of paper as he threw down the test. His eyes… how they twinked! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, His clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of exams he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, before he drove out of sight Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Name: LYNNE JONES CommentsWe visit my cousin and her husband in BSG - a truly wonderful place, breath-taking views, wonderful people after a 10 hour drive - it takes only minutes to relax. Could move from London to BSG any time. Love the churches and museums, in particular the houses at Halloween were decorated so wonderfully, we could drive by and look at them all. The Mexican Restaurant (opposite the Comfort Inn Motel) was first class and a most enjoyable night was had in there - staff and service were second to none.

Name: catherine dinn/ elizabeth gilmer Commentsmy family is the Gilmer family. The mayor lives in my great aunt boggy's house. And my family was part of Gilmer Hall.
Name: Ben CommentsI recently spoke with some friends about what we did on holloween as children. The tradition here is to go to a few neighborhoods and parents drive the children to these places. When we were children in Cadet we would start out from the house and walk up Main Ave West to the ball field and cross over to frog level. We covered every house on both sides of US 58 all the way to BSG and then go down toward the park and up past the fire station and cross back over to Aviation Road and back to where the crossing goes over the tracks and covered all the houses going back to Cadet. It was just us kids, no adults following along. There wasn't any need for them. We were perfectly safe. Some parents would come by in the car and get the over full bags and give the kids more. Mom and dad didn't do that for us and we would usually have two bags heading home. (Piggly Wiggly bags, the paper ones) A lot of the candy was home made fudge and pop corn balls and the like. I don't know about other people but we usually had a pickup load of candy at my house by midnight. We used to set road blocks in Cadet too but that came later. The last time I went out I was 14 and that night Chilton Stewart stopped me, my younger brother and two of our neighbors. We were going with our younger brothers so they could trick or treet. Mom's always are afraid to let the youngest go alone. After Mr. Stewart beat me and my neighbor up we never went out on holloween again. I can't blame him though, we were two 14 year olds who were very dangerous and we did have two very dangerous 10 year olds with us. Funny, the only person who ever threatened me on holloween was the chief of police. The good ole days wern't always good but the good far out weighs the bad. I love this old town.

What a lovely town and community.

Name: Ben CommentsThere are several cemeteries in BSG, On is Glencoe located across the street from what used to be the Country Boy drive-in going toward East Stone Gap. One is in Powell Valley with a Norton address, I believe Powell Valley Memorial Gardens. There are others that are less visible, one in Cadet that is very old and hasn’t been used in recent memory. The last person buried there was Alice Bolinsky. One is American Legion also in Powell Valley. One in East Stone Gap just past where the old school was. I'm sure there are many smaller ones at many area churches.

Name: Sherrill CommentsThis is for Lindsey and anyone else who criticizes those who post on here about our home town. I love all the posts especially Ben's. I don't live there anymore but do like to hear about my hometown. I don't think anyone is fixated on the town. It just feels good to hear about growing up there and great memories. I just wish more people would post on here...especially Ben who describes "home" very well.
Name: Ben CommentsI didn't see the Town ratings. Where were they published? Did they rate all towns or just this one?
Name: Lindsey CommentsI think that your town seems a little bit over rated. Maybe you should take your total focus off of this page and improve your own.

Name: Cheryle Martin CommentsI read all 3 of Adriana Triagiani's books "Big Stone Gap", Little Cherry Holler" and "Milk Glass Moon". I fell in love with Big Stone Gap when I read the first book. My sister and I plan on visiting there when she next visits me from Florida! Sounds like a lovely place. I hated to see each of the sequels in "The Big Stone Gap" series by Adriana. I laughed, cried, etc. right along with each character. Hope your little town has a pleasant day. Cheryle Martin

Name: Born in BSG CommentsI lived the first 18 years of my life in Big Stone Gap, Cadet to be more specific. I remember walking to the main road to catch the school bus over by Eden’s Store. I was in high school before the bus started going all the way around and we caught it in front of the house or close by. I remember the day PVHS opened. My sister was in 8th and was so excited to be going to the new school. I remember the day Kennedy was shot. They dismissed school early I believe. I remember the day the play ground got asphalted. I remember the day the kids from Bland came over. I think we were all just a little bit naive at the time. We would have been shocked to see the world as it is today. In all this I also remember wanting to get out of this little town and do something, anything. I wanted to see the world. I guess every teen feels the same. I know my 17 yr old son does. He is pushing at the walls and pulling at the reins trying to break free of his overbearing dad who he thinks "don't know nothing about nothing". I was the same. Yet in looking back I realize those were the best days. Sure I've had many wonderful things happen to me since but nothing has the appeal of going back to those lazy good ole days when all I had to worry about was whether or not a girl liked me or if there was a piece of chicken left from dinner. I have often wondered what if…. What if I had gone to work in the mines and not gone to college. What if… One thing I have learned in all this is that God is good, all the time. I can see His direction in every step that got me to where I am. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

My sister was in 8th and was so excited to be going to the new school. I remember the day Kennedy was shot. They dismissed school early I believe. I remember the day the play ground got asphalted. I remember the day the kids from Bland came over. I think we were all just a little bit naive at the time. We would have been shocked to see the world as it is today. In all this I also remember wanting to get out of this little town and do something, anything. I wanted to see the world. I guess every teen feels the same. I know my 17 yr old son does. He is pushing at the walls and pulling at the reins trying to break free of his overbearing dad who he thinks "don't know nothing about nothing". I was the same. Yet in looking back I realize those were the best days. Sure I've had many wonderful things happen to me since but nothing has the appeal of going back to those lazy good ole days when all I had to worry about was whether or not a girl liked me or if there was a piece of chicken left from dinner. I have often wondered what if…. What if I had gone to work in the mines and not gone to college. What if… One thing I have learned in all this is that God is good, all the time. I can see His direction in every step that got me to where I am. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

Name: Sherrill Funk CommentsWould like to hear from Ben Collins on here. I love his posts. He describes "home" better than anyone. Have you been back lately? I was disappointed that the Post did not cover the reunion they had down there. I looked in the Post and they covered some lady's tea party...it was nice but I would have loved to hear about the big school reunion. I always run into people from Big Stone no matter where I am. We had a second home in Gatlinburg and I sat down one day on a bench in Gatlinburg and there was a nice couple from Big Stone. We are building a home in Tampa and one of the first people I met in the beauty shop was a lady from Big Stone....we are everywhere!! I never get tired of people from home. They are so nice. I have traveled extensively and have never found people as friendly and nice as they are from Big Stone..so Ben if you have been back lately ...fill us in.

Name: Ben Collins CommentsI visited BSG for the 4th, went to the fire works show at the park. I don't know what I was expecting, someone over behind the Fox home shot off a few and I thought "Is that all?" Boy was I surprised. I have to say it was a great display. My daughter and her husband wanted to drive back to Charlotte and see the "Big city fireworks but we talked them out of it. I have never been so close to such a great fire works display. That was pretty intense. Great job BSG!

Name: Tammie Wells Schaaf CommentsI was born in Appalachia 1n 1959 but our family moved to NC when I was just 9 months old. My 4 older brothers and sisters were born in Big Stone Gap and Appalachia also. I have 2 younger brothers who were born in NC. My Grandparents, Lawrence and Eula Wells,lived on East 1st Street right up from Bullit Park. Our family spent 2 weeks every summer at their house. The park was where we kids spent most of our time. We played in the river and enjoyed every moment there. I grew to Love Big Stone Gap and it holds some of my fondest memories. I hope to visit there this summer with some of our family. We still have family living there and nearby. I still get flashbacks when I hear a squeaking swing. I remember sneaking to the park when the grown-ups were busy visiting and catching up on each others lives. Wading in the river, walking into town to visit the museums, peeking through the fence at the play, (Trail Of The Lonesome Pine) and eating chocolate covered donuts as we walked home past the fire station. Life was so rich as a child on summer vacation in the mountains of Va.!

Name: Ben Collins CommentsEverytime I come home I usually wear my radio out trying to find something to listen to. I seem to remember having the same problem growing up. I remember summer mornings listening to the "Theme from a Summer Place" starting and ending the Trading Post. I love that tune. We had a huge peice of furniture that was our radio back then. We didn't have video games to play, had board games and the like but no video games. How ever did we live? I remember Saturdays when Juno and I would hit the trails behind the house and stay gone so long we thought we would starve to death before we got home. His mom made the best hotdogs on Earth. She usually saved our lives by having one ready when we got home. Back then if we were over in Williams Hollar picking berries and came down to Milam and Mabels they would feed us too. In fact you could get something to eat almost anywhere in those days. That's what people did when you came, got the food on. I would love to hit those trails again, go up to liquor still rock. It would probably kill me to make that hike. Maybe on a trailbike. Anyway, I ususally listen to the Bible Broadcasting Network when around Charlotte and anywhere else I can find a station. If you want to know what good music sounds like go to their webcast from your computer and click on listen. I put their website in this post. You can listen to Tommy on Saturdays on WLSD. He would like that.

Name: BARBARA TATE CommentsSO GLAD TO SEE ALL THE PICTURES SINCE I USED TO WORK THERE AS SECRETARY TO THE TOWN MANAGER. GOOD SITE AND GOOD WAY TO LOOK AT THE TOWN AND ITS SITE.
Name: Ben Collins CommentsI visited BSG this past weekend, took the time to stomp around Cadet. I talked to Buddy Barker, the Taylors, Gary Stipps and his mom and Tommy. Tommy was putting up a swing set for his kids. Do you know somewhere along the road we all got old. There are very few of the men left of the previous generation. Men like Walt Carr, Frank Edens, Sobe, Bill Collins, George Head, James Williams, Charlie Bolinsky, Glennis Maxwell are all gone. I remember as a boy I thought time would never pass. I didn't think I would ever be able to get a job, get my own car, leave home...start my own life. And then I did. Now when I go back I find I can't go back. I can't go over to the Williams and get coffee, the house is abandond. I can't even go to my old house, someone else lives there and I don't know them. They don't know me. I'm afraid I was in such a hurry to get where I wanted to go I forgot how to get back to where I've been. I tried to visit my home but I just couldn't find it. You can't go back.

Name: Lorene Gudger CommentsFYI: I am getting what I believe is spam email from classmates.com. It looks like emails from one person to me but when I look closer it looks as if it has been sent to me in the other persons name with enough info to cause me to want to reply but then I can't reply without becoming "gold". Sure sounds like a spammer to me so.... beware. The email from an old friend at classmates is not what it seems. By the way, would Caroline or Kelley Johnson please email me directly? My address is here and costs nothing :) Lorene
