Mayor Bowers points to two different sets of numbers in particular: student achievement scores going up in Roanoke public schools and citywide crime numbers going down.
Bowers is delivering his address from the third floor of newly-renovated City Market Building; it is another symbol, he says of things turning around in Roanoke.
