We Remember.

April 16, 2007 – a day when school safety became a topic of conversation borne out of unspeakable tragedy.  Ours is not a community of violence, but that day our community – and communities around the world – changed drastically.  And the families of 33 people, not to mention the families of untold survivors and their heroic first responders, changed forever.  Here in Blacksburg, April 16 2007 might not be a daily memory, but it is certainly something many of us think about regularly.

Rainbow over Lane Stadium

I know everyone went crazy with their mentions of double – and even a triple – rainbow in and around Blacksburg last week, and I’m going to add mine to the mix. Natalie was at an event in Lane Stadium, and captured this one.  Pretty cool.

Most Expensive Home Sales 4Q 2011

Leave a reply

Earlier this month, we highlighted the five least expensive homes sold in Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Radford in the fourth quarter of 2011.  Not surprisingly, they were fixers, and most needed a lot of work.  But there were five others that sold during the same time frame that were quite the opposite.  While the prices of the most expensive homes sold weren’t quite as high as in quarters passed, these are still five very nice homes.
