It's official. Although we don't have a Chinatown, you can now go between Roanoke and NYC for about 50 bucks. The non-descript Van Hools also make stops in Staunton, Hagerstown, and other places along I-81 on the way up and down. Ming An has been quietly serving our region for the past year or so (I have seen them pick up in Troutville near the truck stop), but just recently made local front page news.

For those who want to come on down, sip some sweet tea, and gaze at the giant neon star on Mill Mountain while riding a vintage bus from Commonwealth Coach and Trolley Museum www.commonwealthcoach.org - (please contact us first as we meet by appointment only), you can catch Ming An at 59 Canal St. in NYC.
