Dirty Dancing in Virginia

Wonk's continued to be quite busy, work-wise, resulting in fewer posts. But I just thought you'd like to know that I am spending a couple days with Mrs. Wonker near Blacksburg, VA in a mountaintop hotel aptly named Mountain Lake. The lake, unfortunately, is a little low right now due to current drought conditions, but the old hotel is a beauty. And amazingly, it turns out this is where the fabled film "Dirty Dancing" was actually staged. The movie takes place in the "Poconos" of course, but darned if it wasn't filmed right here in this picturesque locale. Who knew? (Well, I didn't.)

Just thought you'd like to know. Virginia is indeed for lovers.
