FROM THE EDITOR Happy Town The yen to walk past the maternal grandparents' home in Radford remains strong many decades after they left the home. It's a happy day when the favorite town of your childhood can be even more inviting many decades later. by Kurt Rheinheimer From my grandparents' house at the corner of Fourth and Harvey streets in Radford, Virginia those many decades ago, a boy could go outside and walk the little rise before then taking on the impossibly steep hill down Harvey to the West End business district. I loved that walk, both because it took me past big houses and yards and stone walls that, for some 12 BlueRidgeCountry.com reason I do not know, I was interested in looking at; and more so because the walk delivered me to the little cluster of stores at that end of town-the one away from then-tiny Radford College. I remember three of the string of businesses on the river side of West Main Street as well as I remember anything from childhood. Lyle's Morehttp://www.BlueRidgeCountry.com
