I admit it.

For about the first year after I purchased my home in Roanoke City (in July 2005) whenever this short, seasonal publication arrived, it was simply discarded.

Not so anymore.

Roanoke Citizen Magazine (Spring 2008)

When I came home late yesterday afternoon I could already see the top left corner of the magazine peaking out of my mailbox. The recognized Roanoke City logo, which is comprised of a slight abstract design of mountains and the star, reflected some of the day’s remaining sunshine.

If you’re a citizen of the city this little glossy-paged newsletter of sorts will be reaching you soon, if it hasn’t already.

Among the highlights of this issue are articles about: Roanoke’s Clean and Green Campaign, a brief history and heritage of the Roanoke River, and updates on Roanoke Greenways.

Check it out, after all, it’s free (or tax dollars well spent I think).
