Tuesday 4

 Welcome to Tuesday 4 begun by Toni Taddeo and continued in her honor.

Hosted by Annie!

Let's talk about your town this week!

1. Do you like your town? Is it a city, town ? Can you describe it for us? I love our town...we were both born and raised here.  It is a rather quiet city... I would say it is in somewhat of a decline from its former glory days, but a great place to call home. I used to love to go shopping downtown,  it was  a bustling  vibrant  city.  Then  the shopping centers  came along and eventually  downtown became  obsolete except for a few business and the market area  with its restaurants.  Now the shopping centers are becoming obsolete and  the city is now   led by a council with no   strategies for growth or  improvement.. but I still love our  city!!   It is a beautiful city     hugged on all sides by wrap around Blule Ridge Mountains..  which, also, creates a bowl  whereby we are protected from strong storms,  but, also,  plagued by  environmental allergies!!!    The Blue Ridge Parkway cuts right through our  surrounding county!

2. Are there any special points of interest in your town?It is home to Mill Mountain Zoo and is known as the Star City of the South.

Our favorite leopard!

3.Does your town have parks, restaurants?We have great parks, walking trails, and both popular chains and wonderful privately owned 4 star restaurants. 

4. Do you think your town needs changes to make it better and if so what changes would you make?Our city’s leadership has no vision for the future. I would like to see a change of leadership for both the city and state.  It is ongoing prayer!
