Friendly City, FOR REAL!

Hey all!

I’m Krystle and new to the Valley! It’s definitely a different world compared to my little area in Greencastle PA where I have made the move from. I have been in radio since 2008 and have no regrets with the choices I have made over the years in radio as every single one has helped me develop into the person and talent I have become over the years.

Now that I am in the Valley I want to explore and see it ALL. My first week has been a lot of GPS’ing to get around otherwise I would be a lost mess (THANK YOU Jesus for GPS). I have realized how friendly people are in this area. Just the other morning I was at 7-11 before the show and looking like I JUST rolled out of bed (which I very much had) and the lady at the register said “OMG you look so pretty this morning” I had to turn around because I was sure she was talking to someone else because I looked in the mirror before leaving the house at 4am and there was NO way she was talking to me. But sure enough she was and it brighten my early morning with a simple complement. Now I know why Harrisonburg is called “The Friendly City”

Hugs,

Krystle
