Along Route 11 in Staunton

Taken from the same spot facing different directions
Here U.S. 11 is also called Greenville Avenue. The other day I was meeting Lynn at Kathy's Restaurant and I got there five minutes early so I snapped these pictures.
The historical marker is for Woodrow Wilson's Birthplace.
