Our Roanoke location has new hours!: we are open Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday 10am to 6pm and Fridays 10am to 7:30pm. With these new hours in Roanoke, we thought to ask our Charlottesville customers if there is a day of the week that you would like us to be open later. Check out our stories for the poll. We want & need your feedback. Choose between Thursday, Friday, & Saturday.

Father's Day is coming this weekend, and our Quest 2.0 boxers from SAXX are the perfect gift for the active guy. National Geographic called the Quest the "ultimate travel underwear", and rightly so. They wash & dry quickly, breathe well, and wear perfectly. Whether backpacking the AT, mountain biking, or just living out of a suitcase on business, these cover it all. @saxxunderwear #saxxunderwear #saxx #derrieredesoie

#WCW Today we honor a woman who through difficult conditions, and persistence, triumphed. Today we honor #helenkeller Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. When only 19 months old, Keller contracted an illness leaving her without sight or hearing. Her world was dark. For five years she lived in this darkness until she was introduced to Anne Sullivan in 1887. Sullivan helped Keller make tremendous progress with her ability to communicate. With her help, Helen learned to communicate via sign language, to read and write in Braille, to touch-lip read, and to speak. Keller continued her education and was determined to attend college. Keller was accepted into Radcliffe College at the beginning of the 1900s, and it was here that she became a published author, writing the book she titled: The Story of My Life. Keller then went on to graduate with honors in 1904. After college, Keller set out to learn more about the world and how she could help improve the lives of others. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Keller tackled social and political issues, including women's suffrage, pacifism and birth control. She testified before Congress, strongly advocating to improve the welfare of blind people. In 1915, along with renowned city planner George Kessler, she co-founded Helen Keller International to combat the causes and consequences of blindness and malnutrition. In 1920, she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union. During her lifetime, Keller received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments, including the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal in 1936, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964, and election to the Women's Hall of Fame in 1965. She also received numerours honorary doctoral degrees from universities all over the world. Keller died in her sleep on June 1, 1968, just shy of her 88th birthday. During her remarkable life, Keller stood as a powerful example of how determination, hard work, and imagination can allow an individual to triumph over adversity. #wcw #womancrushwednesday #womenwhochangetheworld #derrieredesoie #derrieredesoieroanoke #derrieredesoiecharlottesville

Martha Gellhorn was one of the first female war correspondents of the 20th century. As we remember the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy, we highlight Gellhorn as our choice for #WCW. Born in 1908, Gellhorn decided to pursue a career in journalism. After meeting Ernest Hemmingway in 1936, it seemed her future as a war correspondent was set. She and Hemmingway made their way to Spain where they covered the Spanish Civil War. Gellhorn covered many stories for Collier's and other news agencies from around Europe as war continued to build. In 1944, Gellhorn became the first female journalist to make her way to the beaches of Normandy and report what she saw before any other journalist. Much to the chagrin of her (by this time) ex-husband Ernest Hemmingway. Hemmingway had been granted journalist status to cover the invasion, but Gellhorn, a woman, had been denied access due to her sex. But she didn’t let that stop her. Stowed away on a hospital ship, Gellhorn made her way to the beaches disguised as a stretcher-bearer. Through her dispatches we learned the personal face of war. In one dispatch she is quoted by saying “ The human machine is the most delicate and rare of all, and it is obviously built to survive, if given half the chance.” Her dispatch covered the stories of those trying to give so many young men that half a chance. After WWII, Gellhorn went on to cover the trial of German war criminal Adolf Eichmann for the Atlantic Monthly, the Arab-Israeli War, and eventually Vietnam. Gellhorn passed away in 1998, and her legacy is the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, an award for Journalist “whose work has penetrated the established version of events and told an unpalatable truth.” • We also highlight for #WCW all the women who lost loved ones in the D-day invasion at Normandy. Towns like Bedford, VA lost 23 men, leaving behind mothers, sisters, wives, daughters… We also salute those women who supported the recovery of the injured. D-Day at Normandy is the largest seaborne invasion in history. • #womencrushwednesday #womancrush #derrieredesoie #ddayhistory #womensupportingwomen #womenmakinghistory #wcwderrieredesoie #shoplocal
