Yet another VDOT pic of TS Ida flooding.
My mom always said of this bridge that it should've extended past this low area toward higher ground.
As she's not a VDOT engineer and the businesses here likely wanted to keep the road frontage (and would still face occasional flooding), that was not to be . . .
Well, the backyard woodchuck is hanging in there as of this 1st day of November. 
Since my post about the old, long gone Thornburg VA Stuckey's, something odd has emerged. 
Like it's Stuckey's for a new millenium.
Or for an old era, watched over by a figure from a Captain Morgan's ad.
Old mainstays like bottle rockets, pop-its & other fireworks can still be found.
And questionable figurines of times past have been transmuted into howling wolves, dark castles and questing elves.
