Bookish in the Star City
When I read the caption for this postcard, I wanted to know what the Star is. After googling, I learned that it is officially called The Roanoke Star, which is an illuminated iconic symbol that sits at the top of Mill Mountain. Click on Virginia’s Blue Ridge website to see a photo and to read more about it.
