#AppalachianEchoes "Here we have a proud American country-town." I like the staggering towers: the carwash sign followed by the billboard, then water-tower. The illumination of the car sign makes locality and closeness appear important to this town, yet that does not signify complete isolation from consumerism, due to the Chick-fil-A billboard, a relatable fast-food chain to the south. They almost contradict one another, until the viewer realizes they can work together, especially under the other tower- distanced to the far-right, the American Flag. Yet, as if the America flag isn't enough alone, paired with my favorite part, the small sign reading, "DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS," this image simultaneously becomes a perfect capture of the American Dream in the heart of the south.

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

This park was closed off to my with fences and barbed wire. As you can see I got a little frustrated and instead of picturing the the actual park, there is a photograph of the obstacles in my way. Yet this dreary scene is not the one that shows its true colors. If you were to look it up online, you would see the many festivals and events hosted here such as lawnmower races, agricultural fairs, and 4-H exhibits. Most of these events include music, dancing, and wrestling matches to entertain the adults and children alike whether through participation or spectation. #appalachianechos
