Chinqua-Penn is open again! Sorta.

Do you ever wonder what has become of Rockingham County's #1 tourist attraction?  I mean the really, really big tourist attraction.  The one the county government used to throw hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars at. The one Commissioner Trish Gwyn used to run.  No?  Well, me neither.

But, I did happen to run across a youtube video tour of the place.  It's after Commissioner Gwyn and Reidsville's Christmas Parade Grand Marshal Calvin Phelps had their way with the once beautiful mansion.  The government has come in and stripped it down to the paint.  There's not much left.

The tour reminds me of the History Channel program Life After People.  Mother Nature is beginning to take over.  It will all eventually turn to dust.

Come see for yourself if you have a few minutes.  The front door is unlocked.  Hell, the front door isn't even closed.  If you don't have the time, go here to check it out.
