Im sure I can watch a video but just in case there's some tips they dont mention, maybe you all have a better idea? Thanks in advance ☺️

Hey folks. I'm a volunteer at the "Lion's Share" food bank which uses the St. Mark's Lutheran Church's facilities in Old Southwest. Note that there isn't a religious piece to this besides that it's held at a church (i.e. people don't get preached to in exchange for getting food).
We could use more volunteers to help on Mondays so thought I'd ask here. I'll post details below. We'd love to have you!
New volunteers can email lions@stmarksroanoke.org for their first time and then returning volunteers sign up at Lion's Share Volunteer Signups.
Here’s a guide to how fire departments are funded in Virginia, in eight FAQs gathered from Cardinal readers.
My morning had a crazy start. I dropped my daughter off at daycare and was leaving that neighborhood, when a black suv came flying behind me honking, I was going 24 in a 25. Lots of people were out walking dogs and kids were waiting for the bus, this seemed a dangerous area place to be speeding.
The whole half-ish mile they were behind on the windy suburban drive they were honking and trying to pass but there wasn't with traffic and people out and about. When we got to the front of the neighborhood, there was a red light I went to turn right and they went into the left turn lane. When the pull next to me they're screaming, making obscenities, and still honking. I edged forward to see around them to turn and every time I moved the did as well, to the point theyd lurched forward almost into traffic lane to prevent me from seeing to turn all while still being nasty.
Never been so glad to make a right turn in my life. That person won't probably see this, but just in case- me driving the speed limit didn't make you late to wherever you needed to be. If you're in that much of a hurry you need to leave earlier. This kind of behavior is going to get someone hurt.
One member said she thought it was an effort to try to sway the group toward a casino.
Coming to visit Roanoke in a week and I’ve always wanted to find and eat a pawpaw. Are they getting ready to eat?
I just completed my background check with Carilion. I have a few questions about this whole process.
What is the wait time for the background check?
What happens after the background check comes back (non clinical position)?
Are the pay ranges that are listed in the job posts accurate?

Got an alert that the police are telling residents there should shelter in place.
We moved out here a couple months ago and I'm looking for ideas for good restaurants in town. We are from Denver and love Asian food. is there a Korean restaurant in town? My husband loves BBQ and I'm also a big fan of sushi. Any and all restaurant suggestions welcome. We have younger kids and need date night suggestions too.
Thanks!
I could barely make out the mechanical voice saying what was going on, just something about a shelter in place order.
In case you hear loud noises on the Hollins/Cloverdale side of Roanoke over the next 2 months...

Has anyone on here recently built a detached garage on their property? I’m looking to pour a slab and put a 3-5 car garage steel building on it.
I know I’ll need a permit(s) but is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Really looking to do majority of it myself aside from the concrete slab.
Hopefully more counties and cities will follow suit.
I am looking to relocate to Roanoke and found a job in Blacksburg...does this commute seem reasonable?
Fairly new, just happened to spot it today. Called Rasa Nirvana on Salem Ave just before the market building. Just thought I'd share for any Indian food lovers, since we don't have a huge number of options, and it doesn't really stick out. Lamb Vindaloo was pretty good. Similarly priced to Nawaab ($20 for lamb vindaloo, $5 for garlic naan).
I am a 55-year-old Black male considering relocating to Roanoke from New Mexico. I was wondering if there are any events or festivals happening this weekend that might provide a better sense of life in the city.
