Images of Virginia-Johnny Appleseed in New Market



Today's images of Virginia series continues with some parting glances of the Johnny Appleseed Restaurant in New Market, Va., which is about 90 miles south of Washington, DC. The historic town where the Battle of New Market was fought is located between Harrisonburg and Wichester on I-81.
I used to live in Edinburg, which is a town that is some 22 miles north of New Market. I liked the spaghetti at this place which is part of a Quality Inn.
There was also a Johnny Appleseed Restaurant in Fredericksburg, Va., which is near Richmond, but I was surprised to see that there were no images of the 'other Johnny Appleseed' on Google.
Some may wonder why I don't have more info on the legend of Johnny Appleseed or the restaurant chain itself, which I believe is defunct. Hmmm.........I guess I'll just have to leave the link to Wikipedia!
