Four guys just graduated from college and are moving to Roanoke. Three of them are not even from the area and they don't have jobs. So, what brings someone from York (PA) Lynchburg (VA) and D.C. to Roanoke?
Roanoke is a beautiful city. Within the mountains and around the river, there is the hidden gem of Downtown Roanoke. Downtown Roanoke is only recently being rediscovered by urban dwellers, regional artists, and young people looking for a good time on a Friday night. Quite frankly, Roanoke is a city that is slowly exposing its potential and finally making use of its talents.
When you move to D.C., Atlanta, or another super metropolis, you become the a member of an enormous crowd. You might find a job easily, but you can barely afford a decent place to live. What is attractive about Roanoke is that it is an emerging cultural and economic entity. While many of the big city amenities are here, there are also the outdoor amenities you couldn't find in larger cities. Moreover, Roanoke is a small enough city to easily get involved and influence the town.
The reason why we are moving to Roanoke is to become involved in the growing movement to push the city into the future.
