But Im not going to say anything about the Dr. Pepper sign/ H&C Coffee sign article today except to applaud Dr. Pepper/Pepsi Bottling for the want to repair the sign. They could have just let it continue rotting away, but decided that it meant something to the town with a Dr. Pepper jones. Nice of them to raise funds to repair it.
All part of the betterment of Downtown, and by extenstion, all of Roanoke.
But its going to be a hot, nasty, hazy next few days, so I dont want to add to the tension that will undoubtably build during this lovely weather. Besides, I still have my story to tell.

I'm glad they're fixing it up. When I first moved here a couple of years ago from Texas, I saw the sign and really liked it.
My first impression, despite the bad shape of the sign, didn't have me immediately associating it with the soft drink, the company, or anything like that. More than that, the sign made me feel like Roanoke had some serious history rich with tradition and deep-rooted Americana.
Again, that was just MY first impression. (And you never really forget a first impression.)
