Considering how this winter is shaping up for those of us in the northern hemisphere, I can’t help wondering if nature is giving us a big middle finger. Stay warm and keep those shovels handy. Oh, and Happy New Year!

The McGuire Building, located at 1 Market Square in Roanoke, Virginia, was built in 1914 and housed W. E. McGuire’s Farmers’ Supply Co. that sold buggies, wagons, fertilizer, seed, and other farm-related equipment and supplies. Almost from the beginning the McGuire Building housed small restaurants and farmers’ booths on the first floor. One such place became a Roanoke staple, the Roanoke Weiner Stand, then called the Roanoke Weinnie Stand, started there in 1916. Initially renovated in 1983 to house Center in the Square and its cultural organizations, the 81,000 sq ft building was again renovated in 2013.

It was foggy on my morning commute. My eye was drawn to the slightly mysterious scene. Just as I stopped the car to capture the image, a car topped the hill.
For the past 2 months I have been going for 1 to 2 mile morning walks to get in a little exercise and also to clear my head. This morning while walking through my neighborhood I came across this VW Super Beetle. From the looks of the bumpers I believe this is a 1973 (which was the first year 5 mph bumpers were required). This Beetle brings back so many fond memories of my youth because in 1973 I purchased my first new car which was ironically a 1973 VW Super Beetle. For those of you that are not VW Beetle fans the Super Beetle featured a curved windshield, redesigned dashboard and a blower motor to control the heat output (very high end for a Beetle). Regular Beetle’s featured a flat windshield and the more conventional convection heating system. Both systems were still controlled by 2 levers in between the front seats but there was much less chance of your breath fogging up the front windshield on hot humid summer days and cold winter mornings.
