Amazing to see the Scottish-Irish influence here , with these Bluegrass musicians and dancers from 1960's North Carolina.

yeah! problem is that outside Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown the panhandle of WV is pretty poor whitetrashy. Incidentally when WV seceded from VA as per the earlier posts the pan handle of WV was created because Virginia wanted to hold on to the town of Winchester which is probably the biggest town in the Shenandoah Valley.

Two of my roommates at W & M were from Winchester. Got to head back there one weekend for the Apple Blossom Festival. Some good memories ;)
 
The two biggest pieces of the homelessness problem are:

1. Cities/states that won’t do anything to help and instead try to drive the homeless out
2. Migration to cities/states that do want to help and then the sheer numbers overwhelm the available resources

It really is something that requires a nationwide response I think… but you can guess why that isn’t forthcoming.
 

Does anyone know if Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper found the real America that they set out to look for in 'Easy Rider'?

Or does the movie just end with hillbillies blowing them away with a shotgun?
 
The Lewis and Clark Expedition must have been amazing. Imaging seeing the whole of western side of the country untouched by man and still in it's natural beauty.

Frontier men... I would go love to go back and embark on a journey like that.

My only concern would be that in those days, even something as small as a paper cut is a freakin' death sentence!

Well except for the native population. History didn't begin with white men.

Asheville is a town with a university, not a college town. UNC-A is too small to take over the town. 4-5K in a town of around 100K. Boone and AppState are probably the same size lol

I'd agree - theres not much to Boone thats not AppState but Asheville is so much more than UNC-A. Probably because UNC-A is more campus feeling and not embedded in the town centr - Interestingly Wilmington is a bigger town than both but the college just seems more central
