time changes everything
Throughout time, with technology, higher learning, and new inventions things have a tendency to change. Our roads, ways of life, and communities have changed over time. A small town that may have been productive may not be now because of the changes. From our studies we have learned about how farms, buildings, and transportation have changed into forgotten history. Some of the things that are forgotten are farms that are big, probably used to be bigger. Old roads and bridges become new, general stores in small towns or communities become rundown and some abandon. These stores become rundown and abandon because there is now Wal-Mart and K-Mart that replace these general stores of the past. That is why I feel it was bound for Route 66 to be replaced. I believe if Route 66 is the "mother" of all roads in America it is because the talk of it being the "mother" of American roads. If it wasn't for people traveling Route 66, and coming back home, and telling their friends about it the road would have never really known as that type of major road. I have to ask the question; would we know about Route 66 if people didn't tell us about it. Of course there are other things, like the sites that you can see by t
the city limits" (pg. 89) I feel that this is what Route 66 did for our country, and that he would feel the same way. We care about Route 66 because this road is America. You see different people, places, and cultures this is America. No matter what road you may take it is America and you will find different people, places, cultures, and a different story each time you go somewhere that is different. We need to see Route 66 because it is apart of our history that shouldn't be forgotten. The places we have gone to visit this semester so far have been places that have been forgotten, or have things that have been forgotten. Like when we visited Amity Hill Rd. it is more than likely not remembered for being a main travel road to get to Salisbury or that the old school that now houses people used to be a all black school during segregation. We need to remember what used to be, so we can know how we got to where we are now, and know how we got what we have now. There are more roads in America besides Route 66. Normal roads like the country roads and city streets are these other roads that can take you to lots of new places. If Toequeville was to travel down the roads we go down this semester. He would say that there is now a difference in the social class unlike when
