A Train Passing By in Downtown Roanoke (Video)
I bought a new gadget.
Photos have been, and will continue to be, a staple of Noke News. But, every now and then I have thought about having the ability to post my own videos of Roanoke.
Well, here goes nothing, as this post marks the first video posted at Noke News!
This is a simple and short video of a common scene downtown…the passing of a train. In this particular video I was standing at the top of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Bridge. The Wachovia Tower can also be seen in the background to the right.
I hope you enjoy.
As this is my first attempt at adding video to the blog, please let me know if you have trouble viewing or if things don’t look like they probably should.

I can’t see the video but don’t know whether it’s you or me. Sounds cool. I’ll be watching for it.

Lisa, I did get it to show up at home and work for me. It’s basically just a video embedded from my account at YouTube. Are you able to view videos directly on the YouTube site?

That was cool. I watched the same scene from the viaduct last summer. It’s cool to see it in the distance. I think youtube was having some problems the day I tried to view this because I had trouble with some others on my youtube page that day.
