Oscar nominations are out!

Nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards were announced early Tuesday morning. Now that the list is out, we get to chat/fight about what they got right and who totally got shafted.

Ask not what your country can do for you…

Today marks the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address. Well worth a watch and/or listen when you have a few minutes.

What you’re listening to

Yesterday we asked this question on the Twitters:

Happy birthday, Dr. King

This is Dr. King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech in it’s entirety — all 17 1/2 minutes of it. If you haven’t listened to it in a while, try to make some time for it today.

Daily Candy highlights RVA for three-day getaway

December SNOMG pick ’em winner

Back in November we opened up the RVANews SNOMG pick ’em where our readers got to make predictions about monthly snowfall totals for the 2010-2011 season. Whoever is closest for the month gets an RVANews T-shirt. Now that December is officially come and gone, it’s time to announce our first winner.

Wanna write for RVANews?

Every now and then, we like to put out a call to our readers to see if there are any undiscovered writing/reporting geniuses out there who would like to contribute to our site. As we’re in the process of planning what we’ll be up to in 2011, in only makes sense to do that again.
