Amazing how 8 yrs ago when I first moved here from Baltimore, the Short pump area was trees and across from the freshly dug ground for the mall on Broad St, there was an old car repair shop, and 288 had not creeped up across 250. Same with Charlottesville on Rt 29. It was trees, in the northern part of the county, which now has a mall, hotels, and 7 traffic lights between airport Road and Ruckersville. What was an easy ride north is now stop and go with traffic. Sad to see the country go.
That part of Richmond was pretty with the trees. It a shame that they all came down with the old landmarks in order to pave and build stores! Charlottesville is turning in to that too. All it brings is more traffic, more headaches, higher costs and increased crime,
C'mon trade a La-Z-Boy for that old house. That's progress, isn't it?
Did you get to talk to any of the guys running the demolition machines? How did they feel about wrecking that cool old house? Did they feel bad about it at all, or just didn't care or see any value to it?
How about what they are doing to the Civil War battlefields in that part of Virginia. Disgraceful.
They attacked it with a bulldozer and a track hoe. Wow, talk about overkill. Poor old house didn't stand a chance. But I bet the operators had a blast knocking the crap out of that old place. LOL.
Unfortunately, yes. Just what we needed, our 50 billionth strip mall here in the Richmond area. They built a La-Z-Boy furniture and a few other worthless or redundant shops in its place.
