My father and I took a walk along the new Roanoke Greenway while my nephews were warming up over at the Skate Park. It was intersting seeing how they had dug out so much ground to install a "freeboard" on the new flood wall. I was glad to see they that they didn't pull up the old original maples down by the bottom.



The original SW Virginia Visitors Center. After the flood of 1985, they moved over to Center in the Square in downtown Roanoke. This beautiful old stone building has remained empty and abandoned. I imagine, as the Greenway becomes more and more popular, someone will probably turn this space into a cafe or coffee house.








Norfolk and Southern coal trains still in action.

Some places have a way of stirring up Nastolgia.

All the years Eddie and I used to go up the old mountain road, I never knew it had a name.

On St. Mark's Place, I saw this cap earlier tonight...

while shopping for kitchy NYC presents to take to Virginia. First time I've ever seen LOG merchandise in a popular, public arena. Weird.

In honor of the soon to be defunct Polaroid...

and against all odds...

“…tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. And one fine morning – So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

Blue.

And sometimes, regretfully, you forget to delete in impulsive masses.

Pace Car on the L.E.S.

I haven't been carrying my cameras around with me lately for some reason, but last night when I was walking home from dinner, I thought it strange, to see an Indianapolis 500 Pace car sitting outside of Arlene's Grocery. Good thing I had my trusty little cell phone camera to document this curiosity.
