Sara Lee delivered a shocker to its 130 employees in Salem this fall, when

Most people in Roanoke weren't surprised at all though, when the city
learned it would lose Heironimus, its last downtown department store.
The fall also featured two sets of layoffs at the Volvo-GM truck plant in
Dublin due to slowing demand.
The moves put more than 350 people out of work.
The routing of a new interstate called I-73 was given the president's stamp

When it's built, it will pass through the New River Valley, the Roanoke
