Napa Motors and Bus Station


This historic photo is the side of the former Roanoke bus station and later, Genuine Motor Parts. Today, the building is currently "The Raven," a restaurant and sports bar.The primary similarities that are still there today are the the outline of the old RC Cola advertisement and the brick exterior. The old Coach Line advertisement is now gone. The sign has been weathered but the main change is that more people have cars today and do not travel as much by bus. Roanoke seems to have been a more thriving business area in the past than it is now.
