Blue Ridge Parkway




Here in North Carolina we are blessed to have the Blue Ridge Parkway which was built in the depression era by the Works Project Administration. A favorite pastime of anyone who lives within a few hours off the Parkway is to drive to the mountains and drive the parkway and enjoy the view. This is done year round, weather permitting, but is most likely to be done in the fall when the leaves are changing. The Parkway was not built to get from one place to another, it was simply built for the view. What are we doing today that will resonate 70 years from now purely for the aesthetics?
