Lifelong Learning Institute starts

 At its opening event, Lifelong Learning Institute described the many in-person (following health recommendations) and zoom events planned.

Mountain landscape

 Lusters Gate is through a valley.

Work near Edwards Lane

 The crew from Valley Landscaping is working to renovate a walking path.  I walk the path every day. 

Main St. entrance

 Blacksburg is busy as everyone prepares for the first day of class tomorrow.  It is going to be different to say the least.  Masks still required.

Virginia Tech entrance

 University is opening.  Students are returning to the community.

Old Cheese Factory

 The building, which was a cheese factory with its own flavor of cheese, is apartments.  It is good that some history preserved with the sign.

Alumni Mall

 Main entrance to Virginia Tech as university is almost ready to open.

Birds on a fence

 Blacksburg is still quiet and the chirping could be heard.

Businesses on Main St.

 These businesses are at the entrance to Virginia Tech.

Virginia Tech golf players

 

Action on the course.  Driving to the second hole.

Blossoming

 Many flowers still visible on Fincastle St.

 Steppin' Out is real and happening right now.  Hope this is the new normal.

Hollyhocks

 Hollyhock bush is blooming on this side.  I won't show the other side which was trimmed by "accident"
