The Roanoke Rambler counted the ledger: Beamers 25, Unleashed, and Tuco's Taqueria are gone from downtown. In 2026, The Haven took the old Awful Arthur's on Campbell, Dorothy turned a flower shop on Church into a bar and kitchen, and Salem's Parkway Brewing opened a taproom in The Bower. Same district, opposite outcomes on different blocks — we will not invent a biscuit shop to even the score.
