    Im a Descendant of people of this town Mercer County Princeton and Roanoke with a Family tree dating back to 1690, Grandmother Iris Elaine "Basham maiden name" ...was born here and her husband my grandfather Arnold C McElyea and her Mom and Dad was from Matoaka. His Name Was Arley Basham " he was a Pastor and Jeweler and jewelry store owner and her momma was Aiola Shrewsbury "Maiden name" they left town in the 1950s after my grandfathers service in US Navy WW2 to move to Toledo ohio to then work at Libby glass. If she were still alive to see this drone footage of her old mountain home, she'd probably cry with Joy and sadness. To see it still here but see it the ghost of what it used to be.

    Another dead town. Over the decades ma and pa shops closed and the shopping centers/walmart took people out of the downtowns. In Athens, Ohio, Walmart moved in and the small downtown of Athens died, as did JC Penny, Kmart, and every other clothes shop. Walmart literally destroyed and shut down the only shpping mall they had.

    Thank you James for this tour. I studied at VPI and lived in Blacksburg in 1972-73. I think I recognized the place where a sub shop called Choosie Mothers was located, at the crossing of Main & College Streets, it was owned by Bruce Thompson. I worked there along with several friends who also studied at VPI and were from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, and, of course, the USA. We all had a great time there and have fond memories of the town. Looks quite different now, but really good.
