I'm discovering it late so I hope it keeps going. <br />As for traffic, I remember sitting on the hill at the corner of College and Main and watching rush-hour at 5 o'clock. Traffic backed up for about five minutes, then it was over. <br /><br />PS: do you recall a Mark Shapiro, long time Fooz employee?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691464800885214697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419060323134295102.post-74633615137350542392014-11-15T18:51:38.421-05:002014-11-15T18:51:38.421-05:00I remember Middle Earth.

Yeah, I said "us" - I was there, too!! And I loved it!! And I love it now!! But Dennis is right....it was a town then with a variety of stores and a few bars, not a huge bar with some shopping squeezed in. Munchies came from Krogers (now Tech Bookstore), dorm necessities came from Rose's (now the used textbook store, previously the outdoor outfitters) and shoe laces came from "Corner Drug" at the corner of College and Main. Most of us walked everywhere not just becasue we didn't have cars (which you didn't really need), but becasue we liked to.<br /><br />One of my favorite stores was the New River Trading Company (aka Cabo Fish Taco) where jeans were $5.00. I could get everything I needed in town, but once in a while, when we wanted a big shopping experience, some girls would get together and call Legget's at Gables (now Kroger) who would send a car for us. <br /><br />It was people's home town, not just that place where VPI was. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud that I went to Tech and I loved living on campus. And although I walked and shopped all over town, I appreciate more now that there was a town - a real town. I didn't have to think about it then becasue it was here. Blacksburg was a town a century before college boys in uniforms showed up. I'm glad to have experienced all that Blacksburg was in the 70s and I'm happy to call it home today. But I do wish that there was more of the old flavor of the small town that we really are. So, thanks Dennis for reminding us of the place we loved and giving us an outlet to share our memories.Carol Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428237238461150172noreply@blogger.com
