Top neighborhoods in Boone

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

Top landmarks in Boone

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
