What is youth?

I have to wonder, with all the talk of Young Professionals and Youth Groups and whatnot - exactly where does that line fall. By some, the range is 21-40 - and others limit it to 19-35. But the City launched a new video to "sell" Roanoke to the outside world.

2 impressions I am left with after watching it: 1 - it's very 'old', and does not perk my youthful interests. 2 - The video gives plenty of reasons to come here, but no incentives to actually LIVE in the city. The things the video shows are accessible to anyone in the Valley - not just those who live in the city of.

Here's the Vid. Any observations?

The future is now

I'm putting off the New Roanoke post another 24 hours as I want to give you all the chance to check out this new website.



OurValley.org



This is the future of news folks, the community-driven media you have heard so much about.



The site is in it's infancy, so give it time. But register now, and start sending in those news tips.



Well - I should say this is one of the futures.



The other one I will not go into much detail about, except to say that yours truly will be very much involved.



The Sentinel is watching already.



The first stab at the heart will strike harder than expected, and will come faster than you realize.



And before you know it, the great all-destroying whale will be humbled. And unable to react.



Did you feel that? The wind just shifted directions...
