My wife n I live in Christiansburg. We would love to go eat in Blacksburg more often as the restaurant choices in christiansburg aren't as good overall. The parking situation in downtown deters us big time. The downtown 16 blocks in blacksburg needs ped traffic to survive.
Student housing near downtown n more parking is essential to downtown viability. And, the city council needs to relax it's fix on parking meters, it's crazy.

Oh, greens too. THEY HAVE REALLY GOOD DOUBLE FRIED FRRNCH FRIES. Best in the burg

Short-term replace private lots in the downtown core with metered lots

Wooh, what happened to private property? Private parking is private for a reason. $$$$$$$$$$$$$. And $.

You think Ped traffic downtown is minimal? I never got that feeling but I've been gone for a while.

There aren't many sites or opportunities for higher density residential that close to downtown, but when there is, it should be encouraged. Developers need certain ratios: enough land to get their density, space for parking, etc (no, structured parking won't work for high density residential in a market like BBG). That land is available on the periphery of town, not near the core. Ther have been a number of boutique MF in the core the last decade, and those should be encouraged.

I noticed no one has said sycamore deli anywhere. Don't know what the reception is amongst other Hokies but I love that sandwich shop. Cool location too in a basement area in the building in front of rivermill.

South Street is owned by Blue Mountain, had tongue dropper last yr at a beer event. I forgot about it, need to revisit.

Adding to NerdMagic's list...

  • Get a jumbo slice at Benny's
  • Go to Home Place after hiking McAfee's Knob
  • Go to PK's on Thursday for the Tijuana Toss
  • Get the BBQ Mahi Manhi Tacos at Cabo (they've been featured on food network)

We had a thread about Blacksburg restaurants. Don't know know if we should get w new one or bump that one?

Tigers

yeah, nice try..you're not going to get points for this unless you specify Auburn Tigers or Clemson Tigers. Just sayin'

but them not joining a P5 might just be the excuse we need to shred the contract we have with them and halt the series. The TV deal is going to require the ACC to restructure their schedule and scheduling rules and we might be able to boot ECU to the curb if they're not a P5 team. I would rather not play ECU at all than play them as a member of the BigXX
