on the trip frank and I were talking about urban development and sprawl and what are the pros and cons, which got me thinking on the way back. For part of the way back we were on rte 55 and I was thinking about what the road will do once completed. It will be that much easier to get "deep" onto WV to see the beauty of the state. the thing that I find ironic about the whole thing is that they are plowing down the mountians and filling in the valley's that give the state its beauty. From the other side, more people are going to be able to visit more parts of WV and in theory more money will be flowing into the area. which is always good because we know that money is the solution to all of our problems. your thoughts

While the new highway will make it easier to get "deep" into WV, it will also make that "deep" shallow? Get what I am sayin?
