Roanoke is one of those really neat cities that has a little bit of everything, for everyone, in a reasonably small areas. It's like the city actually planned itself as it was growing and adding things to see, do, and enjoy.

The city's entrance, marked with a slightly broken sign (glance along the left side).	The little, unnamed creek, with the Roanoke sports park in the background.	Heading downtown a bit, we find the working railroads run through the historic parts of town.
The Catholic church and school. Man, do them Catholics like their cathedrals pointy.	Are you in the market for a cute little place? If so, this one is for sale (I didn't get the price).
