ive lived in roanoke for a while but then my family decided to move to Florida.I like it better in florida..but sometimes i miss the simplicity of roanoke and the mountains.Winter time is pretty there too.For younger people there really isnt that much to do there and when i visit all me and my friends do is go to valley view mall or the movies. thats about it.downtown is really pretty though.the star is not as exciting as people make it sound its just nature rocks and stuff :D
