Location, Temperature, Environments and Advantages.
The city is situated in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia,
at its junction with the famous Shenandoah
Valley, the Roanoke River flowing along its southern
border. To the Southeast are the Blue Ridge Mountains,
and on the Northwest are the Alleghanies.
From this ideal location the cold winds of winter are
tempered, and during the summer the humidity is
always below the average.
