    I came across this interesting fact about our nearby city Roanoke. It was actually voted as one of the Top Digital Cities. Considering the relevance to our class, I decided to post it into a class contribution :)

    Pepsi is sponsoring local ideas that will help the community from everyday people with millions of dollars. It is a great opportunity for the public to help the community by submitting their ideas.
