Pardon the snark, but *REALLY*?!?!?!?!?!
So my husband and I decide to visit Luray Caverns - and afterwards, finding some extra time on our hands, we decide to venture forth and check out all the glory that Luray has to offer. After all, it's a famous landmark, and so, the nearby town *must* have sights to see, right?
So let me set the stage for you: it's a beautiful, yet hot 90+ degree day. You just left the cool and majestic caverns and you spy this huge stone tower just past the Cavern parking lot.
"It looks interesting! Let's go visit" you excitedly proclaim...
...and come across a big stone tower. Set in the middle of a field. With an ugly man-made lake nearby.
There is a limp and soggy xeroxed pamphlet in a little box, which tells you the brief history of the Luray Singing Tower...riddled with grammatical mistakes and tragic misuse of prepositions.
The "singing" tower? Not that interesting. Made less so by a note that it only "sings" once a day...and even then, they don't even take requests!
So yeah.
Luray Caverns = awesome. The rest of Luray = snooze-fest. The Luray Singing Tower? That's set dead center in the darkest part of Purgatory.
