Yep-- asphalt and signs all over the place, dangit.

Devil’s Den, right?

Gettysburg is a good example. A third of the battlefield is overrun by sprawl, and some of this within the last 20 years. We are losing Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spottsylvania right now. And many others.

I recognize there are two sides to the story. There are still places in Northern Virginia that are more than three miles from a mall and -- difficult as it is to imagine -- half a mile from the nearest 7-11. I've not yet seen a "Fight the Mall Shortage, Pave a Battlefield" bumper sticker, but it's probably only a matter of time.
