Skyline Exhibits Knowledge Base
What is the name of this 'stop' along the Blue Ridge Parkway or Skyline Drive in Virginia? Last summer we went to Virginia and visited the Charlottesville area. We traveled West to Crozet and then got onto Skyline Drive (Parkway) through Shenandoah National Forest. We pulled over at this place that is very memorable but we have no idea what mile marker it is at or what it is called. It's an old home (farmhouse style) set up kind of like an exhibit.. they demonstrate how the families lived in one small home together, raised hens for eggs, gathered water and created refrigeration by damming up the creek. It was really neat and we'd like to take some friends back there. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? There was also a visitor's center right there.
What do Canadians like the most when visiting New York City? First of all what sections of New York do Canadians identify with the most? The city is not all the same. Midtown Times Square - Very glittery and gaudy and Broadway shows and best selling exhibits. West Village, Greenwich Village, East Village - Very artsy and you don't know what you might find. Many of the rich ex-hippies or what I call artisans with cash on hand. Village voice is America's leftwing, highest number of activists and protesters per area of anywhere other than like San Francisco. Upper West Side - Highly intellectual, less politically active than the Village, but very liberal artsy and pro-academia and well educated populous. Upper East Side - wealthy posh apartments with great views of the skyline and Central Park Harlem - The underappreciated African American mecca of the city with an amazing black history going back almost 100 years in the uptown. Chinatown, Little Italy, Financial District And this is just Manhattan. What do Canadians most relate to in New York? Also for those who have seen Chicago, how would Canadians compare Chicago to New York? And how do Canadians compare Toronto to New York?
What do you think of Austin, Texas? I've only been there once in 2001, but let me tell you, I loved it. Maybe my dispositions are a bit premature, but I'll take a stab. I found the people there to be very friendly and mellow. It is a city, so things are rushed, traffic is bad during rush hour, and people are busier, but common courtesy is still exhibited (people holding doors open for others, using turn signals in traffic, etc.) The city is compact--it is a very cosmopolitan but not too sprawled city (the second part is changing, though.) Sixth St. is hopping, SoCo is hip, the lakefront is incredible, and so is the skyline at night. The Texas State Capitol is a sight to behold, also--talk about massive! Plus, it's still close to San Antonio, Round Rock, D/FW, and Houston. In short, Austin rocks! It seems to beat the heck out of the Louisville, KY area, where I live now. I'd like to transfer down there, live, and check it out (even though it's kinda expensive.)
