    I ❤❤ my hometown, the scenery is beautiful, the sites are beautiful, downtown has really grown as well over the past 2 decades, 20 years a lot has changed. It's great to see it getting more exposure and more people visiting it. I've been here a majority of my life and i enjoy it.

    I'm from California I'm 18 and I've been interested in moving there for The past year because I want to move to a town of similar population but have more nature around it, so I think with a few years of saving and maybe a bust or 2 I may do it!

    Hard to believe this place has had such a flat population growth for decades. The place looks a lot better than most of the areas in Tidewater.

    • @omniken66
      @omniken66 3 роки тому

      It's flat in population growth simply because it's very limited on career paths...unless you're in medical field. If you live in a big city from a much larger State and transfer here you're going to be taking a pay reduction. There isn't much to do here and the transportation system is none existent...No overnight service no bus after 9 pm Roanoke closes at 10pm.....no night life!

    Moved out of Roanoke in 95 and was one the smartest things I've done in my life. Has went down hill dramatically since then. Tent cities all over the place along with tweakers on just about every corner. Sad to see it come to that, but it was starting down that path back in the day.

  • @flow2me667

    Thank you for this video through Roanoke. I just love the view from the Mill Mountain. But what is that for a sound while driving? It sounds weird and sometimes not like the engine sound of the car. Sometimes it doesn't match. But don't worry! Another good thing about your video is, that it's up to date.

      Ha, the sound of a Ford Powerstroke 6.0 diesel! The camera is mounted outside and the loud engine is muted. You also hear turbo sounds and engines from vehicles following close behind.

    Beautiful! Please post one called "Let's see and HEAR Roanoke" without the carbon belching diesel pickup truck. People there are probably still gasping for air after this one. I didn't notice another vehicle like this on the road. Maybe you can borrow someone's normal sized- quiet, more environmentally friendly car? That said, thanks for the nice reminiscences.
