Personally, I love Roanoke. The weather is especially nice in the spring and fall, although winters can be a bit unruly. Over the past few years there has been an increase in commercial growth, with new restaurants and stores being opened. The mall and downtown area are easily accessible, although traffic can be a little hefty around these areas.

From a scale one to ten for natural disasters, it would be a 3. It usually just rain or shines here and a couple thunderstorms here and there. In my closet, there are a lot of yoga pants,t-shirts,and some "fancy clothes" for special occasions.

It really all depends on what you're in the mood for. There is not really many choices to choose here. I normally eat at the same places every single week. It is a small town, but there is a decent amount of restaurants you can choose from.

There is little to no crime in my area. It is a pretty safe place to live.
