Intersection of Old US70 and Walker St

These are the four newer homes on Walker St. I'm pretty sure they all have a dog, since the owner of the furthest new one was out walking his, and as I walked by, two more were at the windows talking to me. There are few pedestrians out these days, just a few of us seniors from the apartments nearby.



Down at the corner of Old US 70 and Walker St. is a lovely 2 story house behind this fence. They keep up their corner very nicely.


End of summer plants are still somewhat green on the corner.


Look across to the corner where the Blue Ridge Apartments sign is located...



Just standing by the road taking photos was a bit dangerous, as these roads don't have any pedestrian (or bicycle) lanes. I feel sorry for folks who want to bike around...mountain roads are especially dangerous. The caution light down the road is the intersection of N. Blue Ridge Rd...where there is no shoulder even upon which to walk.

    Hello,
    It is great to have owners that take such good care of the property, making it beautiful. I worry for the bike riders on some of these roads, the curves and blind spots can be scary. Take care, have a great day!

    Such a nice area. Too bad it is not pedestrian friendly.

    ...for the most part we don't live in a bike and pedestrian friendly society.

    That's one thing that we love, we can actually walk around our community. Towns that are not pedestrian friendly are becoming one. When tourists visit most of them love to walk around so to be pedestrian friendly makes sense.

    No shoulder on that road is definitely not good for a walker.
