I LOVED looking at the old photos of Roanoke. Please post some of the 13th St SE bridge and surrounding streets during the flood of 85. All that are ever shown of the 85 flood are of downtown or Jefferson St. I remember the water being on that bridge, wood, full size trees and tires were floating into and hitting the bridge and its pretty high up. PLEASE show those photos to us. I know you all have more than just the downtown area of that flood.

Also look for updates on other new digital offerings, including our tablet and mobile apps.

I agree, I loved the “old stuff” and would appreciate a “then and now” photo montage sometime.
