To Tony Stewart. I was borned and raised in Sylvester. From the time I was a youngster growing up, it was the greatest place in the world to be raised up in. Since then ,it’s been turned into a third world war zone for residents living near this criminal offense. People’s lives are being destroyed for the sake of a few jobs.

There was definitely another peak right next to
this one. There is now what looks like a rock
outcrop. It is definitely gone. Maybe if a
person drives a particular area on a regular
basis it is easier to ignore or become used to
the surroundings; however, what is going on
throughout this stretch of road would seem to be nearly impossible to ignore. That missing ridge was only skimming the destruction in that area. I challenge anyone to drive Route 85, the area in question,
then go drive the Midland Trail in Lewisburg.
Then say that there is no devastation in Boone
County. Anyone who can’t see the blatant
difference is, quite frankly, turning a blind
eye.

Matthew nice post.

I just have one comment: we, as a society, don’t allow this to occur. It is not up to us, as a society, but instead to a small group of elites who run business as they wish without regard to ‘society’ in general or these people in particular.

I drive though Boone County all the time on rt 85 and have not seen all the destruction that you are talking about.

I am in total agreement with your comment, Folkface,however it is still a society in which we are forced to be part of. Maybe Thomas Jefferson was right, maybe we do need a revolution in every generation.
