    The Virginia Creeper, was a train on a branch of the Norfolk & Western Railroad was photographed by famous photographer O. Winston Link back in the 50s. One of his most famous pictures was titled "Odl Maud", aw horse drawn pallet at the station as the train arrived. Maud was the horse. When I saw that muriel it reminded me of it. I believe the right of way is a walking path now.

    Probably the "best kept secret town in western NC". Everyone knows about Asheville and Boone. Asheville is a fortune with lots of homeless. Boone is very pricy as well. Highlands and Black Mountain are gorgeous but off the charts expensive. But West Jefferson remains an under the radar ADORABLE little clean, thriving mountain town!

    By goodness you got to visit on a slow day, next is going on out to Lansing into Whitetop, back down the curving mountain road of 58,past the park entrance to Rugby on down to Volney. Or go across the mountain to Konnarock,where Eleanor Rosavelt visited.

    I'm about 3 1/2 minutes into the video. Right now I'm wondering if there's a Jefferson to go with West Jefferson, or if there's an East Jefferson. We have a West Milford, up in Passaic County, but there's no Milford or East Milford.
    I thought it was pretty funny, Melody saying "Stop, stop, stop sign, stop..." We have a lot of 4-way stops around here, but they are usually treated as yield signs, meaning most people don't stop unless they feel they have to. They always get away with it too.
    We had a local art museum right here in Atlantic County, but a couple years ago the local college bought it, supposedly because it was in financial trouble or something. but as soon as they bought it they promptly shut it down. No one seems to know where all the art went. I think they've got it in storage somewhere.
    I love that Presbyterian church, and I'd be disappointed too, about the doughnut shop being closed! I love all those murals. I get pictures of every mural I see. I can't help it.
    So that's a really cool town, and it seems like it's a lot bigger than it is.
    Thanks,
    Barry
