Roanoke Photo of the Day

A long time ago, mid-80's or so when downtown was still a bit shady, I was walking up Salem Ave behind Southern Pawn late one night. Some dude standing in the shadows asked me if I had seen any cops around and I said no and kept on walking. A minute or so later I heard the burglar alarm going off there.

The guy who 'invented' Dr. Pepper was supposedly from Marion. He was in love with the daughter of "Dr. Pepper" and came up with this new beverage as a way to impress the father and get the girl. I think the Dr. lived in texas. Supposedly, Roanoke was one of the first cities to experience the refreshing pleasure that is Dr. Pepper. Nice sign, huh!

Is that the intersection of Williamson and Campbell? It looks like renovations might be going on in the building, the windows are papered.
