I’m back from a sunny trip to Florida, where the sandy beach was as white as flour and the turquoise water refreshing. The shopping also was marvelous. I hit a mall with Ann Taylor, Macy’s, Dillard’s, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and many other stores, including cute boutiques near the beach. I can’t go on vacation without fitting in a little time for shopping. How about you?

Anyway, it sounds like many of you had a lot to say last week, from discussing the high prices of ordering pizza and to weighing in on retail downtown.

I’m still shifting through emails and messages from last week, but I ran into some information about a new Domino’s Pizza location in downtown Roanoke. I know several of you said you don’t like to order pizza from chain establishments, but in case anyone likes Domino’s Pizza, this restaurant opened recently on Williamson Road, inside the former Yellow Cab building.

Its interior design reflects the chain’s new Vision 20/20 design. Inside there’s an open area view into the kitchen where you can watch the pizza as it’s being made.

You also can tell from this picture on the left that the bright colors and design are more contemporary. Apparently, this is the 7th location in the Mid-Atlantic region to sport the new Domino’s look.

This structure was built in 1928, so it’s an example of a historic building taking on a very new use.
