Union Hall, VA—March 2007


I took this shot last Saturday from the Union Hall post office parking lot on the north side of Rt. 40. The antique store still stands, as does Pete's shop, but not for long. The new road will go through where those building are now. Union Hall still looks like Ground Zero.

The big hole was where woods were. Just above it—where the barn used to be, you can see some heavy equipment. In the distance is Turkeycock Mountain.

The house, the barn, the woods—all memories now.
