From Wikipedia:
Harrisonburg is an independent city in the Shenandoah Valley region of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. It is also the county seat of the surrounding Rockingham County, although the two are separate jurisdictions. As of the 2020 census, the population was 51,814. The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines the city of Harrisonburg with Rockingham County for statistical purposes into the Harrisonburg, Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a 2011 estimated population of 126,562.
Harrisonburg is home to James Madison University (JMU), a public research university with an enrollment of over 20,000 students, and Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), a private, Mennonite-affiliated liberal arts university. Although the city has no historical association with President James Madison, JMU was nonetheless named in his honor as Madison College in 1938 and renamed as James Madison University in 1977. EMU largely owes its existence to the sizable Mennonite population in the Shenandoah Valley, to which many Pennsylvania Dutch settlers arrived beginning in the mid-18th century in search of rich, unsettled farmland.
The city has become a bastion of ethnic and linguistic diversity in recent years. Over 1,900 refugees have been settled in Harrisonburg since 2002. As of 2014, Hispanics or Latinos of any race make up 19% of the city's population. Harrisonburg City Public Schools (HCPS) students speak 55 languages in addition to English, with Spanish, Arabic, and Kurdish being the most common languages spoken. Over one-third of HCPS students are English as a second language (ESL) learners. Language learning software company Rosetta Stone was founded in Harrisonburg in 1992,[18] and the multilingual "Welcome Your Neighbors" yard sign originated in Harrisonburg in 2016.
Harrisonburg, Virginia a beautiful laid back city, about an hour and forty five minutes from Roanoke my hometown 👍
Harrisonburg Is one of my favorite Virginia cities because of JMU. Its amazing how many people you see walking around at the campus
Thanks for the memories. Graduated High school in 81. Looks about the same.
Saw you were profiling I-81 (and all of those trucks). I remember that well from my days there back in the late 80's. I figured there was no way you would escape stopping by The 'Burg. Proud JMU alum here. Love The 'Burg! Thanks for the ride down memory lanes!!!
man the burg is what we call Fredericksburg. We just call Harrisonburg Harrisonburg. 😅
Nice ride in Harrisonburg VA
Good afternoon from Beaumont TX mileage mike
In New Market Theres a field where there was a battle fought (civil war) that left a field of empty shoes! Harrisonburg is known as the Shenandoah valley!
Yes. The school chipped in May of 72 for a trip to Gettysburg, Harper's Ferry and New Market.
That was when schools were ok spending to help
students broaden their horizons.
That's all I liked about the town, the Jr high and High School rich kids were snobs.
To me Harrisonburg is how a college town should be designed.......I didn't realize how many people know about Harrisonburg and the Shenandoah Valley
I live here! Love this!!!
It’s better when jmu students aren’t here lol
Graduated EMHS good memories
I grew up in Harrisonburg. Liberty Street was German Street up until WW1.
Damn ww1?? You must have been around for all three floods
Exit 245 off I-81 is the primary exit of JMU.
Born and raised here it’s a beautiful place
Ah looks like you found the video
@@MileageMikeTravels lol yes sir thank you
Lovely town. I've been there before. Where are you going next in on Interstate 81, Winchester or New Market?
Winchester
There was also this other one where a man come out the atmosphere and he glided and you're probably leaking from a pie or in between low
It's funny that section of S Liberty St that leads up to JMU hardly anyone actually does 25 through there lol
Functionally its a 35 but I always take the opportunity to cruise
Didn't the basketball player Ralph Sampson come from Harrisonburg?
Harrisonburg burned during the civil war!
Burned by the Traitorous Confederacy!
👍👍👍🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
/I did not see one person walking on any sidewalks. And downtown? Who Died? For a college town, it was pretty boring not like Blacksburg. Maybe the college campus is where all the action is.
harrisonburg is infinitely better than blacksburg
Harrisonburg is light yrs better than Blacksburg
I've been there a few times, it's pretty quiet when school's out. This might be a false impression. Seemed like a nice small town, very low crime, bookstores, coffee shops, college-town kind of things. Might be crowded at times!
