Take Me Home, Country Roads

According to "Roads to ruin: towns rip up the pavement," by Lauren Etter in the Saturday / Sunday Wall Street Journal (7/17-7/18) Pennsylvania is one of the states ripping up the pavement on some country and little used roads and turning them back into gravel roads. This is primarily a cost cutting measure as paved roads cost more to maintain than gravel. In the long run, though, it may not be a good move.
