Roanoke River Greenway

I took my daughter for a walk along the Roanoke River Greenway this morning, the new section running east past Roanoke Memorial Hospital, under the Walnut Street Bridge, and along Riverland Rd.  It was the first time I've explored this section.  We didn't traverse the whole thing, but what we did walk offered a beautiful view of the river, a well-used pathway, and a wonderful resource for those homes that, previously, backed a litter-strewn flood plain.  It also serves as a convenient pedestrian/bicycle connection between SE Roanoke, Roanoke Memorial Hospital, and the athletic fields at River's Edge.
