With a Tudor- Queen Anne style and elegance - the hotel became the city's first architectural landmark. [A-5 tc 26:14] By the 1900's the hotel was buzzing. More than just a classic hotel for overnight guests, it began housing events - such as the scholarship- based Miss Virginia Pageant in 1954. [A-14 tc 41:46] A few years later - state Republicans chose the Star City landmark over the State Capitol for their convention. While special EVENTS were certainly an attraction, the Hotel also led the pack in technology. [89-85 TC @25:45] It had one of the first air conditioning systems in the WORLD in the 1940's. Steam for the furnace and water for the air conditioner were piped in from the Norfolk Southern shops. But the system had a different purpose than what we think of today. [89-85 TC 26:03]

From Christiansburg: (Christine Olsen) "During the...ceremony I switched back and forth between the 3 local channels. Your coverage was by far the best. Thanks for a job well done."
From Salem: (Bob and Jill Hurt) "We tuned in to the D-Day Memorial program today and were very moved by it. Keith Humphry and Shannon Young did a great job together. They make a good news team and we appreciate their dedication throughout the presentation."
And even from South Carolina: (Heidi Dowdy Pendergrass) "I grew up in Roanoke. My mother grew up in Bedford during World War II. She now lives in Blacksburg. We were not able to attend the D-Day Memorial festivities in Bedford. The only way I could observe the activities was through your web site. I truly appreciate the opportunity to be there via your web site."
And finally, from Rocky Mount, Virginia (Debbie Ferguson) "I have been following all the coverage and reports leading up to the dedication...I have never had a stronger sense of patriotism than I have had over the last week. Through your coverage and interviews I gained a better understanding of how much our freedom means, that young men were willing to risk life and limb to protect my freedom, so many years ago.
