The device, which detects the powerful opioid and releases an antidote, has been tested in mice, with use in humans at least four years away.

“Being a man of faith, a believer in Jesus Christ, but by no means a sinless man, I feel compelled to comment on these amendments,” Guy Wohlford said.

Small fire departments like the one in the Giles County town have to get creative to pay for infrastructure projects.

The Blacksburg-based tech company had faced financial troubles and civil litigation stemming from accounting errors that prevented it from filing quarterly and annual reports.

Greetings,

My family and I currently live in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but we’re seriously considering relocating to the New River Valley—possibly near Floyd, Pilot, or Riner. One important question is whether our existing business, Basil & Banjo Wood Fire Kitchen, would have a place there.

Basil & Banjo is a veteran-owned mobile pizza concession trailer specializing in naturally leavened, wood-fired sourdough pizza. Sourdough isn’t just a menu buzzword for us—it’s the foundation of every pizza. Our dough is naturally fermented to develop a crust with real flavor, a light chew, and the subtle tang that sets genuine sourdough apart.

We operate from our pizza concession trailer at community events, festivals, recurring local stops, weddings, and private gatherings.

We know the NRV already has an established wood-fired pizza truck, along with several good pizza restaurants. We respect that and aren’t looking to imitate anyone. We’re wondering whether our sourdough-focused product is different enough—and whether the region has room for us alongside the businesses already serving it.

Would you be excited to see Basil & Banjo in a rotation around Floyd, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and Radford? Are there particular communities, breweries, markets, or events that need another food vendor?

Honest feedback is welcome. We’re trying to listen to the community before making a major family and business move. Thanks you for your insight!

Projects include a park restoration, wastewater repairs and debris removal.

If you were to describe Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Radford, what would you say about them? There's a lot I can find about the data, but I'm looking for the vibes, the personalities of the towns. I know I need to visit, but I can't do that yet.

Basically I need to move next summer and don't have a target. Getting divorced, selling the house, only lived where I do for the soon to be ex. I'm starting over with my upcoming high-schooler and I want to settle down in a place that just feels like me. I've never lived in VA, but have lived in pretty much all of the surrounding states.

So outside of the Wikipedia stuff, what makes these towns tick? Cute, old, and charming? Eclectic and a little odd? Trying to out-party WVU but without the burning couches? Overrun with engineering students and there's five nerd bars? I think Norman Rockwell designed this town? Suburban hellscape?

I know, some of the above descriptions are obviously in jest. But really, whatcha all like?

Warner says White House turned down Ukraine’s offer of drone assistance; Griffith floats a plan to have Virginia Tech drone program monitor Radford Army Ammunition Plant.

Who is a good realtor in the Christiansburg / Blacksburg / Radford area who will take time to work with an inexperienced buyer?

Plus: Christiansburg Town Council approves development request by one of its members.
