Intersection of Salem Avenue with Second Avenue, Roanoke, VA, July 2022

(Before Second Avenue becomes Gainsboro Road heading north at the overpass.)

I can’t emphasize enough what a quiet city this is.  What you see is what passes for a somewhat busy Tuesday morning.

Leave a comment

So my last letter to the editor (about mandatory school prayer) was distributed to a readership of about 470,000 readers.

Not the biggest number ever (and there’s no telling how many consumers actually read the letter), but it’s still a nice number.

Writing about politics or current events will garner you a far greater audience than poetry.

This happened back in January 2021 off Orange Avenue here in Roanoke, Virginia.  Although the business was destroyed, thankfully no one was hurt.
