"Rising east of the Blue Ridge Mountains and west of the flat coastal lowlands, the foothills, or northern Piedmont, look very much the way they did when the Civil War armies moved up and down between Washington and Richmond.... Now however, more people are discovering the foothills as a weekend getaway and even a good place to retire. This is a region that seems to have resisted change for change's sake....
