Another old building

The building looks as if it was a church.  It is in the blocks where many churches have been for a long time.

Cabo

Landscaping by the Cabo restaurant.  Besides being in a historic church (the black door may have been a entrance to the church), this Main St. restaurant is by a bus stop for several of the buses.  Fascinating place.

Historic building

Cambria is the part of the region in which the trains stopped in another era.

Gazebo

By the police station at the corner of Draper Road and Clay St.

More football

In addition to the football game action, there is a lot going on at a game.  My attention goes to the photographers working the sidelines during the half-time as well as the game.

Saturday afternoon football

T'was a chilly afternoon for football.  Va. Tech fans didn't leave the game early; they stayed and hoped.  Alas, the Hokies lost.

Master Chorale

Concert by the community singing group.  Its top-level talent seems to attract even more talented singers every concert.  And the audience fills the hall--in this case, the church.

Roof repair planned

Looking down on one of the Virginia Tech older buildings.  It looks as if a roof replacement is planned. 

Still has a lot of green leaves

Today it is seeming as if it is winter.  Most the leaves have fallen from the trees.

Police station

From the library across the street to the police station.  The last time I was inside the police station was to get help to install a child seat in my car to pick up a friend at the airport...It was not a major effort for the police officer to check the seat.  It was good.

Fralin Hall for Music talk

Fralin Hall Auditorium was the venue for a talk about music therapy.  Seemed a marvelous chance for me to realize the convergence of science and art their importance in health.  Quite a combination. 

Music at the market

The Farmers Market is still celebrating.

Mushrooms

Just something that appeared since yesterday.

Roanoke Symphony celebrates 60th

A great music 'fix' tonight at the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra performance.  The bus taking music- lovers from Blacksburg to the performance in Roanoke, was full of those who love the music.  Director David Wiley (left) welcomes before he starts the show.

Outside my window just now (6:30 p.m.)

I live close to downtown Blacksburg, in a dense development...these guys live here too.

Scenes from the football game today: coaching, head coach Beamer being interviewed, the alma mater being sung by team after the game.
