About Townhound

OUR HISTORY

TownHound, Inc. was started in 2006 by Alan and Kathy Abbott and Lorie and Jim Foley, two couples connected by blood (Kathy and Lorie are sisters) and by their love of Ashland, Virginia. Affectionately known by its residents as the “Center of the Universe,” Ashland is a unique and tight-knit community north of Richmond. Although the town boasts many community-building groups and events — and a very vocal and engaged population — it lacked an active, online destination where residents could come together to exchange information, ideas and opinions. Thus, TownHound was born. Our hope is that our website will become the place where Ashlanders come regularly for news, events, important information and all of the things that encourage people to “get off the porch” and interact with their neighbors.
