When you are walking down a sidewalk do you ever wonder who else has walked there?

Below is a photo of a sidewalk I took at the University of Virginia. These walkways were designed by Thomas Jefferson and built by his architects. There have been literally millions of feet on these walkways and many famous people.

Jefferson most likely and even people like Edgar Allen Poe (who attended the University)...

Uva Sidewalk

Oh yes and your Charlottesville Real Estate Agent, Charles McDonald has even walked these sidewalks!

Next time you are in a historic area, think about who may have walked where you are.

It will widen your perspective!

Charles: THAT IS SO FASCINATING!!!!  Jefferson was quite the designing/architech.  I am always intrigued when it comes to any "older" home, street, etc. I LOVE to know the history about everything.  Do you watch the show IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK?

Charles,

I have had similar thoughts! If I ever visited the Holy Land I would look forward to walking along the Sea of Galilee...I would be certain that Jesus Himself walked that very same way!!! Thanks,   Fran

What a great photo of the herringbone pattern, I believe, in laying bricks.  My back porch is laid that way and the bricklayer bragged about the difficulty of it.
