Staunton is a small town of about 25,000 people. It is well recognized for its music scene and arts scene. It is the home of Heifetz and the American Shakespeare Theatre. It is considered one of the best small towns to live in across America by the Smithsonian. It also has one of the best main streets in America. Of course there is also conflict between progressive ideology and conservatives. It is Bible Belt America after all. There was a battle to change the name of the High School from Robert E. Lee to Staunton HS. This has angered half the population. Still, it is one of the most charming towns to visit and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
