Roanoke Star

Description

The Mill Mountain Star, also known as the Roanoke Star, is the world's largest freestanding illuminated man-made star, constructed in 1949 at the top of Mill Mountain in Roanoke, Virginia. It was the largest star ever assembled until the El Paso Star was completed in El Paso, Texas. However, the Mill Mountain Star still holds the claim to world's largest illuminated man-made free-standing star, as the El Paso Star lies flat on the ground. After construction of the star, Roanoke was nicknamed "Star City of the South".

I love to go up here and see this star. It always touches my heart. :) I can remember being a child and going to the Mill Mountain Zoo, and then going to see the star.
