A very popular form of leisure is relaxing in an eno. Eno’s are a brand of hammocks that can practically be hung anywhere. All across the Appalachian region eno’s can be found. The come in many different colors and sizes and are very easy to set up. Eno’s are typically hung in the trees so for hikers and outdoorsman, eno’s are very convenient when you need a rest. Eno’s in my opinion are a representation of Appalachian culture. Culture is not the past but the present. Culture is made up by the currents trends and an Appalachian trend is the eno. #appalachianechoes
Flannels are so popular in the Appalachia region, there should be a Flannel Day at Appalachian State University were every student wears a flannel shirt that day. When most people think about mountain men or lumberjacks they are usually depicted as wearing some sort of flannel. Flannels are the stereotypical dress of every mountain man. This image was taken at the Mast General store on King Street, a very popular and well-known Appalachian region store. Flannel shirts also make the list of top ten things every Appalachian student should have, because flannels are a representation of style in the Appalachian region. #appalachianechoes
Many, Many years ago the theater of downtown Boone, NC on King street used to look just like this. As the years passed there were damages, repairs and abandonment. At one point a dollar movie theater moved in, but eventually had to shut down. The town of Boone has a movement to restore the downtown area to what it originally used to look like while still preserving the buildings that have now. #appalachianechoes

Appalachian State University
The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes
