Moving to Roanoke Best Areas to Live

8 Upvotes

My daughter is looking to attend Virginia Western Community College next fall. We live about an hour and 20 minutes from Roanoke and she is considering living in the area while in school. There is not another school closer that offers her program.

What areas should she avoid? Preferably looking for an apartment just due to not wanting to do lawn care

We are also open to closer but commutable locations. Rocky Mount, Boones Mill?

What suggestions do yall have?

I’ll start by saying I absolutely love these events! The storytelling is always amazing, and there is a palpable sense of connection and community in the room the entire time. I love what it has done to bring people together. I am in no way trying to bash the event with what I’m about to say.

However, the unexpected Joe Cobb appearance at the end gave me the biggest ick. Ok great Lee Hunsaker day, she deserves it, truly.

Her mother was sitting behind me and told me to contain myself because while everyone else was roaring with applause for him I was yelling, “tell us about the data centers Joe! What about all the money y’all took from the schools just to buy a golf course! Is that what the handshake looked like when you sold out our town for a data center! What about the money Joe! What about the shady deals!”

Whatever. I know he didn’t hear me. That guy sucks. No regrets.

Making Friends Best Buy Zelda Midnight Release 11/5

I know our best buy is participating in the midnight release, but I'm not sure if the store stays open til then or reopens. Either way, fellow Zelda lovers, I assume it will be big. It would be cool to make an event of it, have a party for the line or a party in general! Meet people, make friends, share in the love of a franchise many of us have loved for decades ✨️

Struggling to find a good paying job

44 Upvotes

Hello,

Throwaway account as my employer frequents this. I am struggling to find a good paying job ($22 an hour or salary $55K at minimum). I moved from California to back here years ago and have been struggling. I moved back for family reasons. In California, I was making around $70K in salary and now I’ve been reduced down to $18 an hour.

I have a bachelor’s degree from Radford in communications from 2022 and it seems like everywhere I apply thinks I’m overqualified. I don’t think I’m asking for much with the above minimum but I’m completely stumped and don’t know what to do.

For family reasons, I cannot pick up and move back to California. My mom is very ill and will likely pass away in the next 3 years.

Can anyone point me in the direction? Looking for coordinator roles or social media marketing . I’m also open to Project management roles. Are there any positions paying at least $22 an hour or a salary of 55K?

Spotted trodding down Electric. Gave him a “Wahooooo”. He smiled back. He was wielding two swords and doing his part to help with the weeding on the shoulder.

Question Is there anywhere to get aVehicle Inspection while you wait?

3 Upvotes

I lived in Northern VA for years and there were vehicle inspections available literally everywhere in various gas stations and mechanic shops. I'm in Blacksburg now and they all require an all day situation, most here are backed up for a few weeks even. My dog is recovering (hopefully) from an injury and I can't really leave him alone all day so I was wondering if Roanoke or anywhere around there had stations like they have up in NOVA?

Thank you guys for all the responses! I got an appointment tomorrow and it seems like it should be quick enough for what I was looking for :)
