Blue Ridge Country May/June 2024 - 13
THE WALK: An easy
two-mile walk along the
main downtown section
of Waynesboro, Virginia's
Street Arts Trail. (It would
be a four-mile walk to
take in every one of the
murals located along the
trail.)
GETTING THERE: Getting
There: Take I-64 Exit 96
in Waynesboro, follow VA
624 northward for 2 miles,
turn left onto East Main
Street and arrive at the
Waynesboro Department
of Tourism in another 0.6
mile.
MORE INFORMATION:
Visitwaynesboro.com has
information about the
Street Arts Trail and a link
for the Traipse app.
Julia Chon (a.k.a. Kimchi Juice) decorated another
YMCA wall with " The Lovers, " depicting lotus flowers
surrounding two cranes, Korean symbols of longevity.
Her " Sun Moon Stars " on the back wall of Stone Soup
Books represents the story her grandparents told her
about the creation of these celestial bodies.
David Wayne's " Firefighter and Rescue Worker
Tribute " mural has a most inspiring depiction of a
bald eagle, while the whimsical painting of " The Bird
House Girl " and what has been described as a " semirealistic,
semi-cartoonish " Octo-paint-us adorn back
walls facing Loomis Plaza.
Laurie and I had also been consulting the pamphlet
for the Historic Waynesboro Walking Tour because
many of its sites were in close proximity to those on
the Street Arts Trail and we found Delly Up to be just
a few steps away from the end of both of those tours.
Owner Mandi Smack pointed out her sandwiches were
made with locally baked bread and that the restaurant
produced its own pickles, inducing us both to order
the Ham and Brie on a Ciabatta roll for lunch. Laurie
couldn't resist the oyster soup as a first course.
MURALS OF WAYNESBORO, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
" The Lovers " by Julia Chon; " Kaiya with Tulips " by Nils Westergard
(from a distance); " Father and Child " by Nils Westergard;
Firefighter and " Rescue Worker Tribute " mural by David Wayne.
So, in the space of just a few hours we had experienced
an outdoors art gallery tour, a history lesson focusing
on the downtown area and a delectable lunch-
and we still had all afternoon to walk the full length of
the South River Greenway. Although an interpretive
sign identified the stream as a prime spot to fish for
smallmouth and rock bass (among other species), we
did not see any anglers testing the waters, but did get
to watch three great blue herons simultaneously take
flight as we approached. Another highlight was talking
with two Appalachian Trail thru-hikers who were
taking a break in the free campsite the city provides for
those making the long trek.
Leonard Adkins has written 20 books on the outdoors and
