These two photos represent the change over the past few years in the town that I grew up in, Clayton,NC. If you look towards the center what use to be a huge wooded area has now been demolished, and they are building houses. Recently, not pictured on the map, across from the homes they have also demolished the wooded area across from them for a public park. Along the lower left hand corners you will notice where about two years ago they built the Highway 70 Bypass. It is amazing how just after a few years how much we can change the landscape of the Earth.
It is crazy to see how rapidly the areas surrounding Raleigh are growing! The demand for houses and businesses keeps increasing and then forces the land to be demolished. I understand what this is like because it has occurred in the town that I live in as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is happening in many towns in America and it is sad. Many of the towns are getting more industrialized and more and more woodlands are getting destroyed. It is unfortunate but it's just the way things are these days.
