Also from Roanoke!! The first time I went to the Short Pump mall after only ever going to Valley View, my mind was blown. I had to call my friend bc I got lost. Couldn’t believe how big it was. Part of me still can’t lol

I grew up in Houston but we’d drive up to MD every year to visit family. For some reason we picked Roanoke as an overnight stay every year and I used to beg my parents to take me to Valley View whenever we were there - I have no idea why but I was in love with that place, I guess maybe they had a store that wasn’t at the mall I went to in Houston but whatever it was, Roanoke became one of my favorite places as a kid

I hope the former mayor of Roanoke reads this.

I'm from Bluefield and we used to drive to Roanoke to shop at Valley View for Christmas -- it had so many more stores than our Mercer Mall. When I moved to Richmond I was amazed at how many malls they had.
