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.



Some videos of me training.

No pain, no trains.  Or something.  [bites cheeseburger Ericly]

Gainsboro Road Overpass.  Roanoke, VA.

One look at that bright air and you can tell how hot it is here in my little Bible Belt city.  Those townhouses remind me of Charleston, South Carolina’s “Rainbow Row.”  Or maybe an Edward Hopper painting — I may have said so before, but this entire city is indeed Hopperesque.

I think the final frame of that second video is really nice, with the American flag appearing before the sunset over the mountains.  I certainly didn’t plan it that way — that was just the spot where I happened to stop running to shoot video.
