Your observations and heartache and anger are familiar to me as someone who also lives in an area that is being loved to death. It’s so hard to watch.

I think the most emotionally devastating aspect is that there is seemingly nothing we can do about it, Dottie. It is the new reality.

I feel like your words and writings help capture and preserve what is slipping away, and help people to experience the quiet and intimate perspective those places give.

That's my aim, LaDonna. Hopefully folks will take heed before it's all gone.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, Mark. I fear that it won't be the last one.
