Reeves Theatre in Elkin, North Carolina. This theatre has been in the process of restoration for years and finally opened in the last couple years. Its restoration has brought a new wave of life to downtown. The aesthetic of this theatre reflects the historical and quaint look that Elkin aims for but has performances from modern day entertainers, as seen on the theatre’s billboard. It helps art and music flourish in this town and has easily become one of the biggest things to do on Friday and Saturday nights. The performers reflect the type of music that many people in the town like, country and blues. #appalachianechoes
Elkin Municipal Park Pool in Elkin, North Carolina. This pool is THE place to be in the warmer months of the year. It is where all the kids and teenagers go in their free time to swim, dive, eat, and hang out. It’s dingy appearance does not reflect the joy and fun that comes with this pool. The pool and park are the epicenter for kids because there is not much else for them to do. We like to think that having a wide variety of things to do is better but sometimes have a couple simple things can still bring great joy to those experiencing them. #appalachianechoes
Elkin Municipal Park in Elkin, North Carolina. There is a tiny stream that goes through the park and this bridge connects the playground to the picnic area and community center. This picture out of context makes the area seem a bit worn down and old since the bridge itself looks worn down. However, in reality, it’s worn down because it is used so much by kids and their parents. Throughout Elkin, there are newer things and things that tend to look a bit more quaint. These 2 views live in harmony to give Elkin the unique and special aesthetic it has. #appalachianechoes
