Venturing out to the Downtown Roanoke Market
I work fairly close to the heart of downtown Roanoke. And, increasingly as the temperatures have warmed up for the season, I often venture out during my lunch hour.
More times than not I pack my lunch, but that doesn’t stop me from still heading out for some sunshine, air, and light exercise.
The sights and the sounds are both entertaining and peaceful. The economy is still terrible so I hear, but some people are nonetheless out and about carrying on with their own activities. The world hasn’t stopped moving and it’s not about to stop. Likewise, this quaint corner of southwest VA still does its best to keep busy.
I have also developed a bit of a habit when I venture downtown during lunch. On most days I pick up a fresh piece of fruit while I pass by the market. I suppose I could just as easily pack an extra apple or an orange with my regular lunch.
But, how boring would that be?
I’ve come to realize that not all habits are bad. In fact, this one I could get used to.
Have a great Friday and weekend!

Steve, Have you eaten at the Taubman museum yet?

RnR, no I sure haven’t. How is it? I’m rather cheap so I pack my lunch most days but maybe I’ll break down and try a new place every week or so, and then write about the experience here.

I don’t know, I haven’t been there yet, so was hoping you could give me the scoop

I haven’t been so you should definitely go and critique it. Take some of those fantastic pictures of yours and give the world something to see and taste when they search for Roanoke Art Museum (most won’t use the name Taubman).
