Here and About- Roanoke, Indiana



On a country road not far from where I grew up,
 this bridge leads to the town of Roanoke, Indiana.

A place where hometown heart shows pride


and those who made a difference are remembered


and a legacy of blooms lives on


a sleepy town where new vision 
has brought new verve
for lunch options
featuring Wagyu Beef



or Four Star Fine Dining in the evening-
Joseph Decuis


for some retail therapy-
 Roanoke has some great options
the Trove
with Melani Wilson
Cosmopolitan eye and display




don't miss Treasure hunting out back at the Trove

Roanoke- a great mix
 of MidWest Americana
and small town optimism.
Just 16 miles from downtown Fort Wayne- 
off of Highway 24.
Worth a morning or afternoon jaunt.

  3. Thanks so much for your kind words about Trove. My family is also from Roanoke and I love being a part of the revitalization of this friendly town. Memories of going to the drug store to sit at the soda fountain and going to the park for Fall Festival are a big part of my childhood. Loved seeing this and keep up the fun blog posts!
