Media Building

My favorite building downtown and Virginia Tech.  It is the edge of campus.

Row of trees

Looking toward a valley, there is a row of trees.

Trying to snow

It has been trying to snow all day.  The weather info says that tomorrow, Thanksgiving, will be sunny, but cold.

 

Weather is rain

True, this pix was taken last month; the weather today has been rain all day. 

Moss Center for the Arts

The Moss Center for the Arts is one of the defining buildings of the Arts District.

Across from Virginia Tech

One of the entrances to Virginia Tech is along Alumni Mall.  These downtown businesses are at that entrance.

Eastern Continental Divide

It is grand that Blacksburg has many features.  This sign appeared.  I  saw it only yesterday.  Once, a long time ago, there was a sign marking the Eastern Continental Divide, but, the story I heard, is that the sign was repeatedly stolen.  I am so glad it has been replaced and hope this sign has a long life.

I wonder which side the place where I live is.

Seems a park

There are benches as if this is a park. 

Homes in one of the newer

Homes near downtown.

Catawba Valley

Beautiful day and magnificent sun set at Catawba Valley

Mural just on Main St.

This mural is along a wall connecting Main St. with an alley.

Comparing Climbing gyms

There is an indoor climbing close by that I go to frequently.  So I was interested to compare a gym from another area.

Great trees by a home

This home is on a small section of East Roanoke St.

Lines and reflections

Just the straight lines of the bank building next to the curves of the Rock 'n Rollin Hooptie van.

Some remodeling action at this Jackson St. building.  In the doorway is this drawing.

After and befores

The new parking garage on Turner St. and some of the homes that were located there in another era. 

Veterans' Day

Virginia Tech offers a tribute to veterans in a ceremony at the War Memorial.

Virginia Tech football

This was from earlier this season, but it is symbolic of the joy at Virginia Tech after a victory last night.

Deer in the field

There was only a little light for this photo this morning.

Main St. home

Another of the several buildings on Main St. that must have been homes and are now businesses. 

Voting

One of the polling places.

Seven Chimneys

This building which must have been a family home, now has some offices for Blacksburg administrators.

Modea

Modea is an advertising business started by Virginia Tech alumni. 

Political rally

Virginia senator Mark Warner was one of the guests at a local political rally today. Most of the local democratic candidates got to speak to the crowd of supporters.

Time Capsule

Don't know when it is scheduled to be looked at.
