Does anyone have any direct knowledge of the area around Roanoke College? Are there commercial venues to walk to? Coffee shops? Restaurants? Shops? I’m trying to determine what is accessible without a car.
As far as I remember, at least a good portion of the school in the center of town… not sure of how many shops etc, but there should be a few places that are walkable.
If I remember right, it is a short walk from the college to downtown, so you’re rather close.
I use Google Maps street view to wander around places. Maybe that would be helpful.
