I lived in Roanoke from 1985 to 2015. I had to move to my hometown for a few years. Now I'm returning to Roanoke and can't wait! I've watched so many of your videos to prepare for moving back. Thank you!
That’s awesome Lisa that you’re looking forward to moving back to Roanoke. We’d love the opportunity to help you in the real estate front when you move. Hope you have an amazing day - Hal
My husband grew up in Roanoke, went to VT, then moved to Newport News because of his job. Before we married 32 years ago, he made it clear that he wanted to move to Roanoke after he retired. I agreed to this. In 2019, we moved here. I have lived many places in my life but have never been happier! There is so much to do and see within 30 minutes of town. Downtown Roanoke has really stepped up their game and is a vibrant, fun downtown. People here are incredibly sweet and the cost of living is reasonable. My love for this area has inspired me to start a bicycle touring business that brings visitors to Virginia from neighboring states. I’m excited to share this area with others.
Wow 🤩 - this is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing. FYI - we love to help local business owners, so let us know if any way that we can help you with your business or promotion 😍
Very good advice because you guys are in the trenches with being in the know. I promise to get in contact with you when I come back up for another visit and draw nearer each year to retirement. Thanks for the post!
There is one club downtown, but the theme might not be everyone's cup of tea. There's an Awful Arthurs down there though and while it ain't exactly a club they play music in there and the weekends can get crazy. Dude got vibe checked for being a creeper and got arrested and then we went back to listening to this other guy play his guitar like nothing happened.

This was a great synopsis. My family is there and I’m in GA. I’m curious about the hybrid school options. Are there charter schools too?

Thanks for the tip. I’m sure our viewers appreciate it 👍
Keep moving along, folks. Nothing to see here.
Live here not too much to do here
