The population of Roanoke Virginia is 96,000. No apparent metro
The city is trying to grow in the technology field..It is slowly succeding.

The noise from the star can be heard over a mile away; they turn it off at 12:00am so nearby people can sleep.

I love it . It is just like another tower in Sim City ! :D



Actually , I think it would be the Wachovia Tower by now because of the recent merger . ;)

I dont like the top, but the facade is marvelous and I love the way it seems to fit. 9/10

I have lived in Roanoke since 1991. When I moved here, First Union (now Wachovia) plaza had just been completed. Although the design is a little iffy (the copper top is a bit much, and it seems too large for its height...like a fat rocket ship), the top is a local landmark that can be seen from many points in and around the city due to the hilly terrain. I'll give it a 7.5/10.

This is also my first post!
