A series which briefly highlights area establishments.

First up is a rather obvious choice to get the ball rolling and to show you what I’m trying to do. The city’s newspaper, The Roanoke Times.

(Actually, I’ve heard the Times is no longer locally owned but I’ve always considered it the primary paper for our area.) 

Currently, I only have a small list so far of places to use in future posts, but I know there are dozens and dozens out there. I invite you to leave a comment below with any new ideas or suggestions.

Do you enjoy visiting a great local restaurant and want to spread the word?

Is there a local automotive repair business whose always done superb work with friendly service that you’d like to recommend, or vice versa?

Anything goes, as long as it’s considered a local place.

This is the first post of a new ongoing series I have been thinking about and decided to go ahead and give a whirl. Local businesses all together and individually also help to shape Roanoke each in their own way. And I want to start featuring them on this site, one at a time.

Some of them may or may not already have an existing website, and that’s OK, I’ll link to them. If they don’t have a website, then they’ll receive some space on Noke News for free.

This series will tie-in with an overall theme and goal for the site I plan to work towards to in the months ahead. More on that a little later.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
