Gas Prices in Southeast Roanoke

Wow!  Regualr gas is “only” $2.55 cents a gallon at the 7-11 on the corner of 9th St. & Buena Vista in Southeast Roanoke!

So I guess that means they’ve done it.  They’ve conditioned me enough so that I’m actually happy to pay more than 2½ bucks for a gallon of gas.

Here’s a picture I snapped with my cell phone camera on the way home from work this evening.

Someone is defacing our community.

While driving past the corner of Albemarle Ave. & 4th St. in SE Roanoke this afternoon, I noticed this:

... and I don't think it was there yesterday.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if a disincentive could be created that is actually strong enough to prevent such vandalism? Such as, for example, a reward fund made up of voluntary contributions, for anyone who could anonymously provide information leading to the apprehension of the perpetrators? I know I would donate to it.
