Many, Many years ago the theater of downtown Boone, NC on King street used to look just like this. As the years passed there were damages, repairs and abandonment. At one point a dollar movie theater moved in, but eventually had to shut down. The town of Boone has a movement to restore the downtown area to what it originally used to look like while still preserving the buildings that have now. #appalachianechoes
I chose to use this photo because when i think of the Appalachian community, I think of small businesses, not big companies like in larger communities. I think of family owned places and local goods stores and I get that feel from this view of King Street here in Boone. There are small stores and even some are structured in a way that represents old culture like the Mast General Store. When I go to King street, I get the feel of this tight community based stores and businesses like I picture it was like in the early establishment of this community. #appalachianechoes
Ah, what a cozy corner of Dancing Moon, the Earthway book store on King Street. We can see a basket full of local herbal teas, drying herbs, and individually made alcohol based tinctures. Why is it that the idea of home-made medicine signified a sense of authentic "Appalachia"? Though I grew up in WV, the idea of making one's own medicine never occurred to me until moving to this region of NC. As a medicine, alcohol has been said to be one of the most ancient forms. Some say that bioarchaeologists have been able to identify jars found in tombs of one of the first pharaohs of Egypt to find residues of medicinal herbs and wine. Alcohol-based medicines became popularized by the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates around 400 BC, but with the rise of modern medicine, the suppression of this ancient practice is what dominates. Anyway, how would the pharmaceutical industry profit if people were aware that the origin of majority of modern medicine comes from plants? But let's not forget, modern medicine is just as "authentic" to "Appalachia" as what we see in this photo. #appalachianechoes
This photograph was taken on King Street in downtown Boone, North Carolina. I took this picture on Friday, December 1, which was the day of the Christmas Tree lighting in Boone. The streets were filled with people, both residents and visitors, as well as numerous vendors. The atmosphere was very festive and cheery. King Street is always very crowded, but the area was even more packed for the Christmas Tree lighting. In the photograph, there is a horse-drawn carriage with a family in the back. This image reflects aspects of a time gone by. The growing modernity of the Appalachian region, specifically Boone, is evident in the cars lining the street, the condos looming in the background, and the construction truck driving in the opposite direction of the carriage. The construction truck represents the growing industrialization and shift away from rural in the region. This clash of old and new is still an ongoing battle in Appalachia. It is interesting that the carriage is heading in the direction of Highway 421, which represents a more modern region, while the construction truck is driving towards Highway 321, which reflects a much more agrarian landscape. Although there is an ongoing battle for the future of Appalachia, the two sides (old and new) are coexisting fairly well thus far. #appalachianechoes

The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes
