In the past few years since I was a fifth year senior in the architecture department (standard operating procedure), a lot has happened around the Hokies’ campus. The Southgate interchange is being built, which hopefully will clean up some of the traffic on 460 on the way into town. (thanks to VDOT for having these videos up on YouTube)
Mike’s Grill closed down, along with Backstreets and Pita Vera/More than Coffee, three of my favorite restaurants in town. Forty years in business and the classic location shuttered to a confused populace.
