ICE SKATING IN

A new downtown Roanoke
ice rink opened for the winter

PICKUPS
Single stream recycling in
Roanoke City means all
recyclables go into one
Carolina-blue can and are
collected every other week. No

of the Bridges development
across the street from Carilion

Hot New Thing #17
PARK SWAP
w Huff Lane Park's new
playground and multi-purpose
courts are popular in a
neighborhood where Roanoke
City Council dared not show
its face some months ago.
The city sold Huff Lane School
for development, but set
aside land for this upgraded
neighborhood park. Said
