Description
This a painting of the Mill Mountain Star in Roanoke, VA. Roanoke is called the Star City of the South because of this star. It is up high on a mountain in the city and you can see it for miles. Years ago, the star was used to announce traffic fatalities by the city turning it red. Now, with the population the size it is, that would mean it would be red a lot. Visitors to Roanoke can't leave town without their trip to the Star to gaze upon the city from way up high on the mountain. The lights below at night are the subject of many photos.
