A concrete mountain road curves past a roadside station with a parked car, a scene that points to the Blue Ridge Parkway's early years. The parkway was planned in the 1930s as a scenic route along the ridges of the Appalachians, and its builders used reinforced concrete for many roadway sections and stone-faced structures to suit the rugged terrain. Pictures like this one show how the road drew travelers into the mountains, with service stations and turnouts rising beside it. Look at the car and the pavement for clues to the period, since the design of both reflects the automobile culture the parkway was built to serve.
