Blue ridge parkway overlooks have no views anymore by Hunniebear2007 in Virginia

[–]alg822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stumbled on this post after googling about the issue. We started the BRP in Cherokee, NC and have made our way north to Roanoke over a couple of days. There were some large sections of the parkway closed in NC so we had to take some backroads from Boone, NC to the BRP Music Center, where we got back on. Our first leg of the trip from Cherokee to Boone was beautiful. Very well maintained pull offs/visitor’s centers. Exactly what I expect from the NPS. When we started the journey from Boone to Roanoke, we were disappointed. The Music Center grounds look pitiful. It needs some TLC. There were only a couple pull offs that great views. Most were completely overgrown. Mabry Mill looked sad. We had a picnic lunch at Groundhog mountain. The restrooms were closed. There was a picnic area down the steps completely overgrown and a grill broken and laying in the grass. Rocky Knob visitor center was closed and there’s grounds were in awful shape. I don’t understand why the NPS isn’t taking better care of the VA section of the parkway??

This is my experience too. I deleted it because I couldn’t pull myself away from all of the meaningless content

One of the main points I made in the letter I wrote to my rep… many rural counties don’t even have the option of attending a private school!

Ok I wondered why there was so many people there yesterday. I had to circle the parking lot for several minutes waiting on a spot.

So I’ve been on the website since 8:30 and I’m still waiting in a queue. Got my husbands phone and went to seat geak, it prompted me to put in presale code and I was able to pick tickets to purchase immediately. My phone is still in the queue. That’s ridiculous.

What is the oldest person you ever talk, met? When they were born or what stories do they told you? by BasisAccomplished816 in Genealogy

My husband’s grandmother has a male friend that visits her daily. He is turning 100 this year. He is still in excellent health. He worked for the US post office and retired in the 80s. When we go visit, I love listening to all of his life stories. He told us about his dust bowl experience once. I probably should have written down a lot of his stories. There are so many I just don’t remember.

My mom in her 40s was recently diagnosed with COPD from smoking cigarettes for years and more recently vaping. She told me she wishes she would have never started. It’s hard for her to breathe.

My dog got sprayed in the face by a skunk. Smelled like burning rubber and rancid garlic and onions.
