[TheDjfrafra]

[scottjefsniper75]

I'm from Roanoke and it's nice. It just sucks when country comes to town and don't know how to drive. And for the waking on weekends at the clubs downtown all u can do is walk

[SudaneseDancerSue11]

is tht pearl fu

i was in the local colors 2011

i was dancing to we want peace

[musclesmatthews]

Roanoke is full of snobs and unfriendliness...people look at you weird if u don't drive a car! Now Portland Oregon is way better the people are great and everyone takes the bus or train....

[KristenxBabe]

hahaha this cracked me up

[LongshotRecordsTV]

The camerawoman is sexy! Wow!

[lizoalex]

There is nothing to do in Roanoke if you are under 21..

[kateandashx3]

i know that vikings daughter...

[SlinkySim]

I was born and raised in Roanoke and the best thing to do there is pack and move away to civilization.

[SolitudeInChains]

Cool video. I've always wanted to check out the festivals around here but never had a chance. I like the local music scene though. The Third Street Coffee house has a cool open mic thing going. Plus I love the winter events like Dickens of a Christmas or something. Very cool. Anyways, thanks for posting this even though I'm like 3 years late watching lol.

[thescene2010]

i live in roanoke...and there is such better stuff to do than this...

[minjonetminna]

At night? Out and about? Do you know of anything to do out and about at night that doesn't involve eating or alcohol?

[thescene2010]

yea its called get some hobbies and make some friends

[minjonetminna]

i only have daytime hobbies. what are your nightime hobbies?

[thescene2010]

well...if you just moved here i mean....it is a sorta odd place to get used to...its alot easier to find stuff to do at night in the summer...the city is a little bit more active

[GabbyLambertLOL]

lol i like in roanoke its not that bad when u qet used to it !

[MichaelZelenak11212]

shut up i live in roanoke and it is a wonderful place to live, the only down fall is the terrible drivers... worst in the country!

[NightlightFilms09]

@MichaelZelenak11212 mostly women suck at driving

[gaynigerfrmoutrspace]

head to a real city. there is nothing in VA

[hittukaur97]

i was in the local colors and i saw me in the video

[mahnameiswin]

LOL they are shutting Ukrops down now!

[ldplummer]

Aww Pearl Fu is such a sweetheart. I was at Local Colors that day and bought a book from that little Orthodox Church camper/chapel thingy. I thought this was a fun video. :)

[rrrichardson1]

I'm from Roanoke and miss it, somewhat. But this video is pitiful! I had lots of fun in Roanoke until I left at age 30 ...

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

Rke is fugged up, backward, and full of uppity bigots!

[laxdude1107]

all the patrick henry fans should be sad....HV just owned u guys

[Christianbaleisahunk]

downtown roanoke is about as big as a postage stamp, except you don't want to lick it.

[1drumgod55]

green onions what a fucked up name if i had to call m,yself green onions i would just have to lay down and die now rank thats a better onion grows on mountain tops in va probally in deer shit

[izzyismommy]

I live in Roanoke

i moved here from Miami Florida

its not that bad

[amerboy22]

wow, looks like a fun place to live

[corey00897654321]

IT IS NOT I HATE IT

[sammy626a]

you think roanoke is bad, try lynchburg. What an arm pit town. the only thing we do here is go to walmart. and god forbit for anything to be open on Sunday. I gotta get out of the dump of a town. No wonder everyone here is on anit depression. between being treated like crap at work (and you cannot just find another job that pays well) and the allergies this town is is a crap hole.

[Bageeta20x20]

@sammy626a Hey Lynchubrg is not bad at all. I'll admit it is becoming more like a big college town, but they're is plenty to do!

[JLCampbell09]

I was born and raised in Roanoke.

There's plenty to do in Roanoke. Try living in a Harrisonburg for 4 years, then we'll talk about how boring Roanoke is. Roanoke is like Manhattan compared to Harrisonburg.

I love my hometown.

[minjonetminna]

You definitely have a point! I actually lived in New Market for almost 4 years and Harrisonburg is a big city compared to that. So Roanoke is just a big whirly gig of fun to me :D

[cincyblows]

jay4457 is exactly the kind of shitbag I'm talking about: arrogant, ignorant, and all brave EXCEPT when face to face. Then he would shit his mommy's panties.

[jay4457]

Your 47 years old and your still arguing about this shit. I would destroy you face to face, i eat people like you for dinner. Just trust me. Anyway you right winged conservative fag, go find some pu-tang and stfu....

[izzyismommy]

really?

you stupid. i live in Roanoke

and i wouldnt say that here cause we'll come and GIT you.

[cincyblows]

Roanoke valley had more than 500 restaraunts when I moved. Great. Fat stupid people who have nothing better to do than feed their faces and bitch about living in Roanoke. Roanoke is a hick town. It always has been and always will be.

[luccaskunk]

Did you move to a town or city with fewer restaurants? If so, which one? I'd like to know how a town can have both fewer restaurants and not be even more of a hick town. LA, Chicago, New York, etc all have thousands of restaurants, and they're not hick towns. I'm at a loss of where you'd have fewer and not be surrounded hicks... Atlanta? Ha!

[cam3r0n5am]

how do you find something to do in roanoke?????

it is soooooooooooooo boring!

and there ARE a lot of gay people here!

we dont have anything exciting, and they were going to put some stores in at valley view like banana republic and nordstrom but they didnt because roanoke is so boring!

they are going to build a khols maybe but khols is nothing exciting to me!

its ok but really boring! :)

[GreenGreenOnions]

What kind of things do you think make a town fun?

Jesus, whats with everyone complaining about Roanoke being boring, what do you want?!

[jay4457]

take ur ass out villa hieghtz or melrose and see how exciting shit gets real quick

[cincyblows]

Undereducated morons like you are exactly why I moved away from Hooterville.

[jay4457]

Undereducated...lmao...thats the funniest thing i have heard seeing as how you dont know shit about me, to start im on the deans list in college and ill probably throw your mind so far off in a conversation you would shit yourself. So passing your ignorant judgment on me off one comment that you didnt even seem to understand because with your other remarks, you seem to agree exactly with what i said, only shows that you are some type of "Savant" of stupidity. Ignorant creature.

[luccaskunk]

Hey Jay, what college is that? Virginia Western? Heck, which dean's list is that? The list of people on their way to expulsion? Seriously, shouldn't you be off studying somewhere?

[jay4457]

OK..."seeing as how there is nothing i can do,because this is the internet, i could only say, if you ever met me face to face and had the balls to talk to me like that, i would knock you head off....just believe me......and yes, im 4.0 at ECPI school of technology, nothing to brag about, but i worked for it, now you work on being less then a dusch bag, and save yourself a broken jaw in the future.

[cincyblows]

You couldn't begin to stand toe to toe against me, shorty. I've forgotten more about my field than you will EVER know about yours. Sit down, moron.

[1drumgod55]

I agree roanoke sucks more than anywhere

[GreenGreenOnions]

Shut the hell up you stuck up bastard.

[mryant85]

roanoke is gay, literally and figuratively. seriously, has one of the biggest homosexual populations in VA. Everyone in roanoke can eat shit and die! especially my piece of shit pregnant ex gf! burn in hell!

[Rollz420]

funny thing is Roanoke is a hub for a lot of people who live in other cities in VA. Roanoke is one of the more popular cities in VA, i dont know what it would be like to live in a smaller city.

[KatieHasRabies]

the only thing thats fun to do is the mall

in the parking garage , were you downtown ?

like near the hotdog stand kinda thing ?

[Dancedot]

I was born in Roanoke at community

[shandaow]

[shandaow]

[L0Wbatteries]

SW33TN3SS!! I'm friends with Pearl! She's soooo nice!! But she loves Red Palace too much. Did you see me at local colors? i was holding the chinez flag with my friend!!

[L0Wbatteries]

actually nvm i went to the 2008 local colors

[barbarajayne]

Pearl Fu is wonderful! I haven't seen her in a long time. ....I live in Roanoke, but I have to agree, it's pretty boring.

[TheRigbyCat]

boo this video sucks, why the hell would i want to go to ukrops!??

[TheGreatH4x0r]

There is nothing to do in Roanoke (yes I do live in Roanoke).

[HighGuy421]

There isnt fucking shit to do but get fucking stoned in VA other then that and chillen with friends its boring as hell this Justin L btw for those of you that know me

[ktboo0702]

LOL.. I think I know you! Didn't you go to CSHS?

[minjonetminna]

Hi ktboo - no, I grew up in Northern VA...but a lot of people say I look like someone they know. I must just have one of those faces!

[ktboo0702]

Oh ok. You look exactly like someone who went to a high school in Roanoke :-)

[TheRigbyCat]

[cloverfield1818]

[minjonetminna]

[lyokomasterxx]

[Satanazz666]

[minjonetminna]

I've finally been there! They have a lot of things only natural foods stores usually have, but at chain store prices. And the salad bar was really nice.

[antihero170]

They don't sell beer.

[mjohnsonxxx]

Whatever you do DONT EAT AT MAC AND BOBS IN SALEM ---if you saw the kitchen you would be sick.....................

[minjonetminna]

Thanks for the warning!

[EyeInAPie]

That's the place near Roanoke College right? The one with the mega-big burger of some sort that if you eat it all, you don't have to pay for it

[EyeInAPie]

That's the place near Roanoke College right? The one with the mega-big burger of some sort that if you eat it all, you don't have to pay for it

[camman1986]

[Mstrofppts89]

haha ukrops parking garage for the win!

[minjonetminna]

yes, that was fun!

[MerryGoRnd]

Nice collection of videos! Where did you see the animal show at the end of the video? Doesn't your camera have any sound? We just stopped to look around Ukrops last week (Oct 2007)! WOW! It's amazing, huh?

[minjonetminna]

The animal show was at the Blue Ridge Library. I had to leave early to get back to work or I'd have had pics with the animals. My camera had sound. I've never been in Ukrops! I never have time during the week and they're never open on Sundays! Mom says it's great :)

[partylikecrazy]

haha  ucrops RULES

[minjonetminna]

So I hear!

[Ashimer1]

omfg ukrops rule im in this vid lol

[minjonetminna]

yeah, bet everyone's been there but me! i just realized how weird it would feel to be watching someone else's vid and suddenly see myself. cool, but weird.
