Questions for my neighbors in OSW

This is the second time this has happened to us and now I’m curious if this is happening to others in the neighborhood. Woke up this morning to another stolen plant that was seemingly dug out of our garden with surgical precision. (We have hostas that are untouched so this doesn’t appear to have been done by a deer/animal - who or whatever did this left NO mess whatsoever)

Never had any issues with packages being taken from our porch but we seem to be getting hit multiple times for our plants. I thought it was random but they struck again.

Anyone else?

Edit: Thanks for the responses, everyone. Seems like we have both two legged and four legged culprits in the neighborhood. Gunna add more cameras to figure it out once and for all🕵️🦨

Elmwood Park is a little gem of a venue.

I lived in Roanoke for 10 years way back around 1985-1995. I remember going to see a few bands in Elmwood back then, but it was always pretty small, like area and regional bands.
I just saw Dark Star Orchestra last night and I was very impressed. You Roanokers should be proud to have such a nice little spot.

LewisGale Salem Behavioral Health

I was admitted to Lewis gale in Salem for suicide attempts a few years back and I’ve scavenged the internet for anyone talking about it and I’ve found… nothing. I had the absolute worst experience there (swastikas drawn on the walls in one of my rooms, absolutely no support, etc etc) and I’ve been dying to hear of other people’s experiences.

Bluetooth Interference

Does everyone have their car Bluetooth drop out on Reserve Ave? I’m assuming it’s the construction. Is it the crane radio frequency? I think it’s after work hours too.

Snakes in the park

Location: Garst Park

Possibly an Eastern Ratsnake.

According to Google: It’s harmless to people and pets unless cornered.
They’re actually beneficial because they eat mice and rats.

Dealership recommendations

I’m looking for recommendations on a dealership that would be good to trade my truck which I still owe on. Due to circumstances I need something less expensive but am concerned that I may have trouble finding a dealership that would be willing to work with me due to what I owe on my truck. Does anyone have a dealership they believe would be good to work with in this circumstances?

Flood of 2018

Was going through old picrures and found this from Oct 2018. That’s Wiley Dr and the cars were floating down the street.
