Called by some "The Most Powerful Blog in Roanoke," and "The Most Dangerous Blog in Roanoke" by others. A harsh light shining within the City of Roanoke, as it struggles to comprehend what it's place in the 21st Century will be. We've come a long way, and we still have more years of greatness ahead. Let the Star City shine once again.

Another mystery
corned beef and co./Alexander's.
This ones been sticking in my craw for a while now. In 1919, maps show there were just regular shops at those locations. In 1903; A drug store, offices, and a shop of some sort. 1886, a school (of some sort) and a vacant store. The only other thing I can prove was there was some sort of restaurant sometime around 1920-1935.
Otherwise, I have no idea why there would be a lower half of a star with brotherhood.
Anyone who knows will recieve my undying thanks, and knowledge that they have staved off a major obsessive headache.

I think that was the location of Brotherhood Mercantile, a men's clothing store. It was in business as recently as the 1960s, but maybe not in that location
