CURATOR: Remember, virginity is a state of mind

POSTED: Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 4:00 PM

High School, a documentary created in 1968 about an average day in the life of a Northeast High School student has surfaced in a small way on Philebrity. Normally, this wouldn't be such a big deal as there's not much you can't find on Youtube, but High School has been banned from being screened in Philly for years. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Philebrity posted a clip from the cinéma vérité, giving us all some much needed advice on love and relationships. Remember Philly, virginity is a state of mind.

The Art in the Age blog is always keeping me up on news about the plight of sailors, the usefulness of wooly hats and historical landmarks. Well, mark a victory in the historical landmarks section, because Virginia just threw down. Eyesore extraordinaire Wal-Mart Stores Inc. were approved two years ago by Orange County, Va. to build yet another store next to the historic Civil War battlefield where Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant met in battle for the first time. Luckily, the Friends of the Wilderness Battlefield stood up to the Big Brother of retail and fought for their town's history. Better yet, a coalition of 200 historians joined in, petitioning to leave the hallowed ground as is. In the end, Wal-Mart skipped town, bowing to the plight of the awesome team of pissed off Virginians and historians. I'd like to think Wal-Mart was last seen leaving the town twirling its moustache menacingly while getting in the Monopoly guy's jalopy.
