Sun Trust 2009 Dickens Of A Christmas in Roanoke, VA

Welcome to Dickens of a Christmas in Roanoke, VA. This video is put together in a visual story style for you to enjoy as a visitor to our wonderful city.
You begin as if waking in a dream and find yourself approaching our Downtown during Christmas. You take a journey to experience the sights and sounds of an enchanted affair, meeting and greeting our friendly vendors and shopkeepers.
You taste some food, watch children play, enjoy some entertainment, even play along with some of the Dickens characters. Then take a horse-and-carriage ride, and do a little Christmas shopping. You will probably have made a few new friends in this short period of time.
As you begin to leave, you look back fondly at this pleasant journey and envision returning to our great City of Roanoke as you board a train to go home.

Suntrust tried to cheat me out of hundreds of dollars. I took my business to another bank and have had no problems for years with my current bank. Not only did you NOT get the money you tried to steal from me, Suntrust, you lost any future chance to do business with me.
