Lost chunks

It's been having chunks nibbled off it since the late 1970's. Lost a bit of the eastern portion, and the Gab Area a western portion and the end of the runway when they put in the All American Expressway. Another chunk of the eastern portion was lost when they put in some giant motor pools at the end of Son Tay.

Now the new highway is taking out the whole southern section along Cottonade Subdivision. While not a part of the MATA Mile it was a major trail that ran the loop from the MATA Mile parking lot around clockwise from Son Tay, down to the All American Expressway, along the back side of Cottonade, up Yadkin to Reilly and then back to the Parking Lot.
