Market Theater Gum Wall

The Market Theater Gum Wall is a local landmark in downtown Seattle, in Post Alley under Pike Place Market. It is loaded with gum and really started when people entered the theater and stuck their gum on the wall. Some placed coins in the gum.

   

Blue Ridge Parkway in N.C.


The most-visited national park has several miles to view but one of the most visited is right here in our backyard. The 469-mile roadway runs through western North Carolina to Virginia, following mountaintops and features some spectacular, all-season scenic views, and recreational resources.

   

Rocky Knob Park


The county's first mountain bike trail park opened May 1, 2011 with Phase I of the trail system functional. Since then the park has opened Phase II, and Phase III is under construction. Boone Area Cyclists are to thank for the biking trails and they are fun to ride.
