Center in the Square
Located in the heart of downtown Roanoke, Center in the Square is a one-stop arts and cultural shop.
The delicious side of downtown
Feeling hungry? As The Roanoke Times' food columnist, I recommend you hit one of these distinctly Roanoke hot spots within walking distance of the Taubman Museum to fill your belly.
Hotel Roanoke
Showcasing the Star City's rich history, the historic Hotel Roanoke — also known as the "Grand Old Lady" — began as a place to rest for railroaders passing through town.
Mill Mountain Theatre
What began as a summer stock theater in a vacant resort inn high up on a mountain became one of the most respected regional theaters in the country.
The Roanoke Star
High atop Mill Mountain stands one of Roanoke’s largest claims to fame. Literally.
Shopping in downtown Roanoke
An abundance of unique shopping lies within Roanoke’s downtown streets. Start in the city’s Market area, strolling up Market Street.
Virginia Museum of Transportation
Located down the tracks from downtown Roanoke, the Virginia Museum of Transportation offers a timeline of locomotive and automotive history.
