The Colosseum Wasn't Built In A Day

And this one won't be, either.

A few days ago, I needed a break. I had been in the office all day working on some things, and my craving for a Diet Pepsi Max (yea, I'm one of the 31 people across the nation that actually like the stuff) kicked in. One of the many reasons I like my office is that its an easy walk to a local gas station, so I hoofed it down to pick up that invigorating cola and then headed back.

On my way back I passed the site for The Colosseum, so I snapped some photos of the excavation. It had been a while since I had stopped in and so I thought I'd capture the moment. Just a lot of dirt right now ...

There's a lot of Blacksburg history in those layers of dirt:

Dozens of piles of dirt looking back towards South Main Street:

Someone's going to have a killer view:
