Many, Many years ago the theater of downtown Boone, NC on King street used to look just like this. As the years passed there were damages, repairs and abandonment. At one point a dollar movie theater moved in, but eventually had to shut down. The town of Boone has a movement to restore the downtown area to what it originally used to look like while still preserving the buildings that have now. #appalachianechoes
I chose to use this photo because when i think of the Appalachian community, I think of small businesses, not big companies like in larger communities. I think of family owned places and local goods stores and I get that feel from this view of King Street here in Boone. There are small stores and even some are structured in a way that represents old culture like the Mast General Store. When I go to King street, I get the feel of this tight community based stores and businesses like I picture it was like in the early establishment of this community. #appalachianechoes
Ah, what a cozy corner of Dancing Moon, the Earthway book store on King Street. We can see a basket full of local herbal teas, drying herbs, and individually made alcohol based tinctures. Why is it that the idea of home-made medicine signified a sense of authentic "Appalachia"? Though I grew up in WV, the idea of making one's own medicine never occurred to me until moving to this region of NC. As a medicine, alcohol has been said to be one of the most ancient forms. Some say that bioarchaeologists have been able to identify jars found in tombs of one of the first pharaohs of Egypt to find residues of medicinal herbs and wine. Alcohol-based medicines became popularized by the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates around 400 BC, but with the rise of modern medicine, the suppression of this ancient practice is what dominates. Anyway, how would the pharmaceutical industry profit if people were aware that the origin of majority of modern medicine comes from plants? But let's not forget, modern medicine is just as "authentic" to "Appalachia" as what we see in this photo. #appalachianechoes

Appalachian State University
The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes
