Another new Day
For Tuesday: Several years ago, Roanoke embarked on a transformation of a block of Day Avenue from a street of transients to one of a new up-and-coming neighborhood. It was a good plan that soured with the housing market.
Now a new effort is underway. It's not exactly as envisioned, but it should work out well.

I'm a little surprised myself that the owner is planning on renting the houses. I think in order to really help the area they should not be rented out.

I watched this progress on my way to the Y every day, and from what I could tell on the outside the houses were being meticulously redone and looked fantastic. They did seem pricey for the neighborhood, and I'm not sure what the school zoning for that block would be relative to other $300K homes in Roanoke.
