The community suffered a period of decline in the mid-20th century due to the impact of desegregation and a planned highway that would have cut through the neighborhood. After the highway was halted by community activists, young professionals and families began to move back into the city, renovating houses and embracing in-town living. Many historic structures, coupled with eclectic business activity, a number of parks, and vibrant culture, have influenced the identity of Virginia-Highland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karri Hobson-Pape, Lola Carlisle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.61w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738588025","brand":"Arcadia Publishing (SC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709507735689,"sku":"9780738588025","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_2bd2546f-4f72-49f8-a71e-2e987f38be23.jpg?v=1719517637","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/virginia-highland-9780738588025","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
