On The Record: With the Roanoke Rambler — Strip Club Zoning Questions, New Downtown Spanish Restaurant (11/5/25)
Description
This week on On The Record: With the Roanoke Rambler, reporter Jeff Sturgeon joins WFIR’s Ian Price for an in-depth look at two top local stories:
– A proposal to reopen a strip club on Franklin Road is raising legal and zoning questions. The city has already issued a code violation, and the identity of the project's backers — and whether it will require public input — remain unclear.
– A new Spanish restaurant, ¡Suerte!, is headed to downtown Roanoke. It’ll open inside the forthcoming Promissory Hotel, with a tapas-forward menu, curated Spanish wine list, and a vision to bring more affordable, authentic European-style dining to the city.
