Driving Through Time - The Digital Blue Ridge Parkway
About this Image
| Title | Asheville And The Parkway |
| Date | June 22, 1934 |
| Description | Editorial criticizes a possible route for the Blue Ridge Parkway that would enter Tennessee and bypass much of Western North Carolina, including Asheville. Argues that the Parkway would suffer from such a route, as it would be located through less scenic valleys rather than along spectacular peaks. Also makes a case that Western North Carolina is largely dependent upon tourism for its economy and that the Parkway would make a vital contribution to the livelihood of the region's residents. |
