Sapp Road

With Bridford Parkway and Wendover Avenue as its backyard neighbor and Target, Kohl's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Babies R Us (on and on....) just across the street, this house on Sapp Road is the quintessential image of Western Guilford County in the days before Wendover cut through.

While nearby Wendover is brimming with "FOR SALE 7+- Acres" signs, as of last Sunday morning, these houses on Sapp Road were not for sale. To add to the allusion of a rural ambience, while shooting this photo, roosters were crowing in the background! Oh for the days of old tires painted white and used for flower planters, chickens and roosters roaming, and roads without much traffic. If you listen hard enough, you might hear John Denver singing in the background.

Stop back by for more views of this part of town!

With the contracting economy, I think we will be seeing a return to scenes like this. Strip malls are standing vacant everywhere.
