Country roads don't take me home no more

Our little corner of Leesburg is getting urbanized. We had a country road that we would use to get over to the grocery store about five minutes away. It passes by a charming state park with ruins of an old stone barn from the 1800's, past a llama farm, and an inn from centuries past called Cattail Ordinary. It has been a dirt road ever since we moved here in 1997, and we loved it. But...sigh...while we were gone in August, some big bad company paved it, and even painted lines down the middle of the road! How rude!
And talk about big bad machines...they are cutting down trees again: this time right on the corner of River Creek Parkway and Route 7. An overpass is in the process of being built plus a Wegmans on the continuing portion of River Creek Parkway. It's nice to have shopping nearby, but enough!!! We have enough! We like trees better!! Can anyone hear me?!!?
