StevenRocks 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 They do have the sign... Actually, they are seeing some new housing, and they did get a new shopping center at the intersection of Rt. 40 and US 29 Business a few years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevenRocks 2 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 It's not much: just a Food Lion and a Dollar General and other shops, with a freestanding Gretna Drug out front, but it's more than what they had before and it's situated right in the downtown area.

bmedguy 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 Hey all. I have been lurking for a while and posting some recently as you may have noticed. My wife and 18 month old son and I live very near downtown in the Old Southwest neighborhood. I have been in Roanoke 7 years. I was brought here by internship and stayed because of landing an excellent job and the love of my life! I lived many years in Chicago and you will notice I have a special place in my heart for that city. If you like city living then you will love Chicago period. I think Roanoke has tremendous potential and in the last couple of years feel it is finally making some movement toward developing that potential. I hope that is not too much information. Just to add to it, I found out today we are expecting our second child! I'm very excited and as a result can't sleep so I'm pecking at the keyboard tonight.
