Gotta get those glasses changed. Must have been looking for the wrong thing.
I once looked at property but did not buy it, even though the price was right, because it didn't look good enough to raise corn and soybeans on. Several years later a hotel/resort went up on the property.
Why would only 10 families have homes alongside a 300 mile long road?
It was barren desert.
But I guess the folks who lived there loved it. All in the eye of the beholder. But I'll bet a lot more "beholders" would see the beauty of our Appalachian states than would see the beauty of the desert.
