Good morning, Roanoke.

Adopt-A-Bowl III hosted a playful puppy football game on Super Bowl Sunday at Roanoke Valley TV, where RCACP + Angels of Assisi teamed up to stage a halftime show featuring 'Bad Bunny' to boost pet adoptions.

Many puppies found new homes following the lively event.

Buchanan Theatre closed for renovations today; local officials say the historic venue is updating its facilities and will share reopening details soon (pending official announcement).

Sixty-five years ago, the Steelers and Colts played the first desegregated NFL game at Victory Stadium in Roanoke (1961), and the historic match is still recalled by former players, spectators, and historians for its role in integration.

Roanoke welcomes Scrap Collective, a new second-hand craft center where trash becomes treasure.

The center offers local makers an affordable way to find creative materials.

Cuts in government funding reduced services for Virginians living with HIV as the Ryan White Part B program lost federal support last year and state funding was trimmed; many now have fewer resources for medication + care.

Roanoke sports retailers are seeing a 20-25% increase in sales as Super Bowl excitement draws more in-store and online customers this week — despite challenging weather.

Managers expect orders to rise further after the game as fans seek their favorite team merchandise.
