Noke Annoyances are slight irritations of and about the Roanoke area.

Have you ever received this publication in your mailbox?

I actually recently just received the 6th Edition (Summer 2008). And I guess my biggest complaint is with the title, and specifically the words “Home Town Magazine” on the cover.

It’s really just a pamphlet filled with advertisements!

Now, I’m not against the ads really. In fact, there are several ads and coupons for some legitimate local places such as the Roanoke Weiner Stand. (And I’ll probably be clipping those out.)

But, it’d be neat to have a couple human interest stories thrown in for good measure.

After all, it’s our “Home Town Magazine.”
