At the 2:43 minute mark as the train passes in front and the Hotel Roanoke in the background, if you look closer you'll notice the temporary light grey chain-link fence that's different from the taller black fencing on either side of the temporary panels. The nation had a mania following derailment after derailment back when the toxins got loose in East Palestine, Ohio over a year February 2023. For a railroad town like Roanoke, derailments are so common and the railroad so dominant in local politics they occurrences only made news for the company crews that had to clean them up and barely a mention on the local news channel. Back in late 2020 alone, that this video shows the repairs from, there were three derailments on this stretch of tracks in Roanoke in a six month period.
My mom was actually born in Roanoke and I've actually never been! Want to visit though. Adding all these to my list. The Hotel Roanoke looks amazing. Maybe we'll splurge for a stay, because I can just picture a nightcap at the bar.
Enjoyed your video! We have family in Virginia and we have not stopped in Roanoke, but it is on our way and now I want to stop. Thanks for the great ideas!
The best thing to do in Roanoke Va. is move out of that place. The people are so backwards! Low wages,high crime, substandard housing, limited public transportation, high domestic violence,.D.V. pretators rarely are serve any jail time. So if anyone want to get away with domestic violence move to Roanoke, Va.
Best thing to do is stay away from Roanoke VA. Very terrible city full of crime and rising full of homeless and actual garbage in the city and not a very good place. Sure it isn't a place to raise your children where the schools have metal detectors at front doors do your home work or just go there and stay for one week and look for yourself before you make any commitments. God help all who live there
The pinball museum is my favorite. Stay to play all day!! It's awesome!!

Where are all the people? Everything you showed us looks so deserted.
