"Hokies Headquarters," reads a huge, white banner that stretches across a clothing section in the Christiansburg, Virginia, Wal-Mart. Below it, one finds dozens of maroon and orange shirts, sweaters and pins.
A salesperson says Hokies merchandise has been in high demand this week, and another shipment is expected tonight. Even at 7 a.m., there are people thumbing through the racks and purchasing Hokies gear.
Walk down the streets in this area and it seems almost everyone is wearing Hokies apparel. It's somber on campus, without a doubt, but the sense of community is just as undeniable.
