This was a department store based here in Roanoke since 1890. It's been closed since I've lived here. Not sure what is going on with the building...probably be taken over by fancy lofts eventually!

These were all taken at the old Dominion Metal Products Building in Roanoke. I have shown you a couple of pics from this day HERE and HERE

I remember this day well. It was an unusually warm day in November 2015. The weekend of the Paris terrorist attack. Nick was out of town and the boys and I went to see the Roanoke star as the city had changed the color of the star to honor Paris. It was a sad day for the world but a special day spent with my boys.

Now it is your turn! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others :) Have a great weekend!



p.s. if the linky isn't showing up please just check back or leave your link in the comments. I have seen where this has been a problem with other bloggers using this linky and I know some of you have had a problem with it as well..darn it!

A Stone House and a Couple of Different Signs

This house sits right below the Mill Mountain Star. There's a paved trail that runs right past it. As beautiful as it is, I would not like to live here due to lack of privacy but their view of the Roanoke valley must make up for it! Linking with Good Fences

We see this on our way to Raleigh. I can't remember if this is in NC or VA...it's very close to the border. It's a bit unsettling to see a guy hanging from a tree in the distance till you get closer and see what it is. I guess they are offering tree trimming services...
It looks like they do a little of everything though (taken through dirty windshield!)
You've heard of bottle trees right? This is their version...well this is a car part tree!
We were driving by this one and had to turn around to get a better look!
Haha...how funny! This is in Blairs, VA
