old-school Roanoke

Here's a look at the Roanoke area before (and during) my lifetime:

History of WROV-AM
WROV-AM set the standard for Roanoke rock radio in the 1960s. The site is comprehensive, cool, and filled with all the minutiae any radio guy could want to read.

Lendy’s
This one is a little disorganized, but it chart’s the old Lendy’s restaurant chain from birth to death, but there’s no explanation of the death. Oh well.

Old Roanoke
A completely random, but interesting set of vintage Roanoke photographs.
