Being the person who gets to pass down the history of such a great place is so amazing and exciting. Preparation played a huge part in telling the history of our great town. We teach these things so that they can be passed down to generations to come. History is made everyday and the past needs to be preserved. You see I'm not from Roanoke, so learning about how booming Roanoke was back in time is amazing to visualize. The most interesting thing about what I learned was that Roanoke had 85 business at once. It's hard to believe looking at how small Main Street looks today.
