Once again, heading into Roanoke Southwest.






It’s the psychedelic pizza joint with the life-sized Transformer out back.
That’s an unusual marketing strategy.




The Salem Red Sox vs. the Potomac Nationals, April 28th at the Salem Civic Center.







In Botetourt County.







Botetourt County. Those trees you see in the last photo are apple trees.






A pal of mine gave me the grand tour. She’s entirely sweet about putting up with my touristy picture-taking.

A friend of mine lives on this street in Salem, Virginia.

Can you imagine if the cross street was named “Grimes Avenue?” That would be F%*#ing EPIC.

Under the Wonju Street overpass in Roanoke SW, heading north.

Looking north past Main Street. That church you see is First United Methodist.
Update: I asked my friends what kind of trees those are. The consensus is that they’re cherry blossoms.
