Earthquake in Roanoke

Firstly, I’m a very heavy sleeper and I didn’t feel the earthquake at all. In fact, I didn’t even hear about it until later in the afternoon on Saturday when my grandmother asked me about it.

Even then I thought she was joking.

But no, there was a modest earthquake here in Roanoke over the weekend that caused quite a stir with some people.

Unfortunately, I did miss all of the excitement.

Did you feel the earthquake?

A new radio station in Roanoke called Steve FM

If you were a regular listener to a station called The Bull (frequency 106.1) then you may have realized that 106.1 no longer plays classic country.

The Bull is out and Steve FM is on

I wasn’t a regular The Bull listener but I first noticed the new station a couple weeks ago. (Obviously, I thought that station’s name of Steve FM was a good choice!)

So, what does this new station play?

Everything, so it claims by an announcer voice in-between songs.

So far I’ve heard songs across the spectrum from new country to R&B to 80’s pop on Steve FM. Aside from a brief announcer voice in-between songs I haven’t heard any live radio host on the station yet, so I suppose it’s strictly a music only station.

I still like and prefer the morning radio show on K92, but at other times of the day I have been giving this new Steve FM more of a listen.

What do you think about it?

Festival in the Park 2009 Coming Up!

Where has the year gone? It’s already almost time for Festival in the Park! Last year I had an exceptionally good time, it’s one of those events that really does seem to have something for everyone.

Usually, during one of the days I go with my family to see the exhibitors. And at night, I meet with friends to see some of the music concerts. And of course, a purchase of a funnel cake and some lemonade were both mandatory for me.

If you’ve never been I encourage you to check it out this year. For more information visit the Fesitval in the Park website.

Have a great Tuesday!
