Abandoned Store, Columbia Furnace, Virginia, 2020.Did a longish drive yesterday into the hilly area just west of I-81 and the Shenandoah Valley. Beautiful day for a drive, and the weather this year has made for magnificent corn fields and lots of green. Not so magnificent were the “Trump/Pence” signs in front of many of the farms and the houses in the tiny settlements. Columbia Furnace is one of those, now mostly a handful of residences and several churches. We returned via the outer edges of Charlottesville where “Biden/Warner/Webb” signs predominated. The urban/rural and well-educated/poorly educated divide has never been more evident. Webb, by the way, is a young MD, one of the few blacks on the University of Virginia medical faculty who may win a “safe” Republican congressional district because the candidate nominated by that party is so lunatic-fringe extremist that even many in the party wince at electing him. -- source link
