Isn't that where one of the original settlements disappeared?
And isn't there that weird island treasure thing there?

definitely might be worth a weeks vacation time to go check it out

I spent a lot of time in Roanoke in my college days, but that was longer ago than I care to admit... 
you'll want to check out the Grandin Theatre - awesome movie theater.
for coffee - mill mountain coffee & tea: http://www.millmountaincoffee.com/
city market to get some of the best produce & meats from the region: http://www.downtownroanoke.org/city-market
for indian food, Nawab: http://www.nawabrestaurant.com/
for sandwiches and awesome sunday morning drink specials (if they still do it, we used to call it going to church) Macados: http://www.macados.net/
i'm sure there's a lot more there now, but those should be some great places to start.

hows the atmosphere there?
typical moderate sized town?
crime rates looked almost non existant.
houses looked around 150k average.
most importantly...
when i go to visit, how are the women?

Asking way too many of the wrong question...
Will you get laid, is the question you are asking. The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind - it says you can get laid anywhere you want to get laid. The question is, my friend, do you want to get laid?

Very conservative, very white.
If you are looking for nightlife, head to Blacksburg, which is where Va. Tech is. Pretty sure that Radford is in Blacksburg as well, and Radford is Va's party college.
You are close to the mountains and the Blue Ridge is spectacular.
In General though, Va is a great place to live and raise a family.

I moved to Roanoke around 14 and lived there until I was 18, Here's what I remember
hows the atmosphere there? As long as you're not the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood the atmosphere is still mostly redneck. Bible belt type place.
typical moderate sized town? I guess, there no real fun spots where you can just walk down a street and have a good time.
crime rates looked almost non existant. I remember they liked to murder one another, but to be fair there isn't crap else to do.
houses looked around 150k average. Because it sucks to live there.
when i go to visit, how are the women? 3 years out of high school they will mostly be fat, wedded and working on their second child.
Don't visit them. That whole part of the state is terrible if you're not going camping or hunting. There's only a few places that could possibly be worse.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. D'you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.
