Re: Wow
I wonder if this is the same William Morva mentioned on roanoke.com and Slice of Sci-Fi as being an actor in a 2005 “old-style sci-fi mystery” entitled “River of Dread”. The movie was filmed by former VA Tech alumnus Seneca Hayes’ — who owns Fried Squid Productions. [More on FSP at Hayes’ MySpace profile]. “River of Dread” was filmed entirely in digital media, screened around Richmond, VA — and was then reported to go straight to DVD. For some sickos, it could become a “cult” classic *if* this is the same guy.
The link was first mentioned on The Sope-Bocks (http://sopebocks.blogspot.com).
THANKS for the good work! Keep it up — and stay safe.

Re: Wow
I’ll say! Though I heard a couple years back they’re actually serving meat (or at least fish) these days. I’m not a vegetarian, but it’s kind of disillusioning.
Old running gag when I was in Blacksburg:
I was at Gillies for brunch and I asked for a side of bacon. You should have seen the waitress – the hair on her legs stood on end!

Re: Wow
Oh how much I miss brunch at Gillie’s

Re: Wow
OK, that was eerily prescient. From the update of the article above:
UPDATED 1:37 p.m.
Bollo’s, a downtown Blacksburg coffee shop that was frequented by William Morva before his arrest last year, has closed for the day amid managers’ concerns that the the business could become a target.
In addition, as police close downtown roads and Virginia Tech canceled what was supposed to be the first day of classes, business came to an abrupt standstill after lunch. The usually busy intersection of College Avenue and Draper Road, located on the edge of Tech’s campus, is nearly deserted.
Felicia Jackson, a barrista at Bollo’s, said “It’s not worth it for us to be here if nobody’s in here.”
Discussions are going on about closing Bollo’s sister business, Gillie’s, located around the corner. Other downtown businesses appear to be remaining open.

Re: Wow
It’s a crazy thing – from the descriptions, this guy sounds like someone you’d see at Bollo’s (if it’s even still there) or bumming around in front of The Cellar (if that’s even still there). Also, I used to live right on Washington Street, a couple of blocks from where the deputy was killed. I can’t even imagine something like that going down in that neighborhood.
