The Colosseum Wasn't Built In One Day

And this one won't be, either.

A few days ago, I needed a break.  I had been in the office all day working on some things, and my craving for a Diet Pepsi Max (yea, I'm one of the 31 people across the nation that actually like the stuff) kicked in.  One of the many reasons I like my office is that its an easy walk to a local gas station, so I hoofed it down to pick up that invigorating cola and then headed back.

On my way back I passed the site for The Colosseum, so I snapped some photos of the excavation.  It had been a while since I had stopped in and so I thought I'd capture the moment.  Just a lot of dirt right now ...

There's a lot of Blacksburg history in those layers of dirt:

Dozens of piles of dirt looking back towards South Main Street:

Someone's going to have a killer view:

Jeremy,
Just a quick note. The construction at the front of the site is for the new relocated Wilco that will also have a Bojangles attached. Your walking time just got a little shorter!

Thanks,
John

That's right, I had forgotten about that! I've never had Bojangles - I think that's against the law in some areas of the south, but I'll have to check it out.
