Time was the hills around Fincastle in
Botetourt County, Virginia, were covered with apple orchards. You can
tell because the housing developments are called things like Orchard
Ridge, and you can buy gifts and collectibles at the Apple Barn. A
few miles away in Roanoke, the people who sleep where the orchards
used to be spend their days in cubicles, and the apples in the
supermarket come from Chile. Meanwhile, in Texas, Wichita Falls has a
54-foot tall artificial waterfall that is clearly visible from
Interstate 44. The city fathers built it in 1989, I guess because
people kept asking.
