As far as I know, all the roads -- north, south, east and west will remain open. Starbucks -- At least three that I can think of: one on Wards Road near Liberty U., one in Barnes & Noble (also on Wards Road) and one on Boonsboro Road in the Peakland area. And you're right, you're only as happy as you make yourself

Add one on Timberlake. Also the older Plaza theaters have changed to feature more "art" and indy films. Just another small step to perfection. Every time I come back downtown looks better with more going on. Had a very good lunch at the new Ploughshare Tea Room downtown and a return to the very good Jimmy's on the James on our trip back last week..
Also learned while in town that LU is starting a healthcare school that will include a full DO program. Planned to add 4500 students and 400 new staff.

Plus fall enrollments were up at all the local 4 year schools--with a much needed boost at Randolph College.
