If you or someone you know has a dog boarding with City Dogs on Norfolk, please pick up your doggo ❤️ not sure what is going on but hope all of the pups are safe.
I drive by there frequently and it’s been sitting in the same condition for a long time now. There was a food truck parked in the grass in front of it for a while, but it hasn’t been there in a long time. Does anyone know if anything else will happen or is it dead.
I have a general checkup tomorrow and I plan on coming out to my care provider and requesting a gender dysphoria diagnosis so I can medically transition. The thing is, I'm not exactly sure how the process goes for that and what would be the best way to bring this up. Can any trans people share their experiences with Carilion clinic and what I should expect? I am also nonbinary so that may affect things as well.
Hi everyone! I'm Anna, 49, and I moved to the Salem area from South Florida about two years ago. I've decided it's time to try and build a local circle of friends who enjoy getting out and doing fun, geeky things together or just hanging.
I'm into PS5 and PC gaming, fantasy, anime, board games, Renaissance Fairs, pinball, fishing, nature walks, bookstores, and checking out local events. I'd describe myself as kind, but sarcastic at times, and someone who loves being silly once I'm comfortable. I'm definitely a bit of a tomboy and I'm usually up for trying just about anything at least once. I'm also 420 friendly.
I've already checked out most of the local game stores, but since I work during the week, regular weeknight events are tough for me. I'm much more of a Saturday adventure person...whether that's grabbing coffee or a beer, playing board games, visiting a festival, checking out a comic or game shop, or just hanging out and laughing.
I'm not looking for dating, just genuine friendships with good people. Comfortable around almost everyone, whether you're a woman or a man or of a different label. I'd love to build a small group of fellow geeks and the nerdy at heart who enjoy getting out of the house, or hanging in the house for a game and making some great memories together. If that sounds like your kind of thing, say hi or message me. Are there any other local geeks looking for the same? Questions, comments, concerns? Let me know lol
Roanoke’s made it onto CNN’s “America’s Best Towns to Visit 2026” list, coming in at number 10.
This was our first 4th of July in Roanoke and OMG the fireworks were really amazing!! We live in the cotton mill lofts and have a rooftop terrace so we had really good views. The fireworks were shot everywhere throughout the city/county, up in the mountains, everywhere we looked there were fireworks, it lasted for over an hour. I assume this was a unique event because of the 250th but we were really shocked.
Did a little urban caving a few days ago so I took a couple pics. I have a ton more I’ll add later if there’s any interest.
I want to add something here. I agree with all the complaints on painting buildings, THIS ISN’T A BUILDING. Don’t bring negativity into my thread showing art by complaining about irrelevant stuff. And those complaining about the city and it wasting taxpayer money? There are tags from 10+ years ago down there, the city has spent zero dollars so far cleaning this in 10 years. But oh yeah, let’s bring flock cameras into this too since we’re talking about taxes. How else can we run this post down? How about if you want something done go do it, don’t piss and moan behind a monitor about it. Honestly, how much could a paint cost, like $100? Go paint over it yourself in a few hours and you’ll never have to see it again. But again, easier to be a bootlicker and support Flock

Sooooo as usual, I don't really know where to go with this.
Right now, we are having an issue where my mother is stuck and can't go anywhere.
I have tried to get her to play something wholesome like Animal Crossing to pass the time while me and my partner are at work.
She may do it now because she is stuck, but when she is nice and healthy, she gets lonely during the day.
Where do y'all send your memaws and papaws/elderly parents during the day?
I am just looking for a loneliness cure or some kind of fun club. Or something to do during the day. I figured y'all could give me some decent ideas while she recovers.
Thanks in advance!
I know I'm late posting this but I don't have an appropriate phone charger.
Moved to Blacksburg recently and visited Roanoke on a random Tuesday a while back. Sam's was totally slammed at noon.
Does it stay super busy or is it a little more calm if I go closer to closing time?
Thanks!
Large trees with large branches on and over the property line are starting to sag ominously over my house. Any recommendations for dependable, affordable tree services in the Grandin area?
Americas 150th sounded like a quiet one, mostly because it fell on a Sunday. Celebrations were bumped to the 5th. There was a cowboy and Indian show at Lakeside, (Salem) the massive pool built in 1920 and ”anyone” with a car was traveling out of the city. Saw an article next to the others thats maybe sarcasm? about being morally outraged that women smoke. (from NY) “outraging the dignity of a cop” is a wild charge.
I know of hirequest and labor finders but they don't have anything for me, does anyone know where I can go for a week or 2 to save up,
I'm trying to get a normal one but need money to start in between pay periods
We lost power on in the Peters Creek area. Did anyone else lose power during this storm?
Is there anywhere I can watch fireworks here in Roanoke from the car?
Looking for suggestions for a last minute hotel booking for July 9th. Hotel Roanoke looks awesome but the $240+ price tag may be a little much right now since it is last minute on a trip down to Georgia. Bonus points for good views. Any other suggestions that may not be far from downtown and may include breakfast? Thank you!
Anyone else think the city’s fireworks display gets more lackluster each year? Tonight it was only 17 minutes and so mid. I’d love to see a drone show instead! Better for the environment, those with PTSD, wildlife, etc. Anyone else?
