Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Roanoke Star, also known as the Mill Mountain Star, is the world''s largest freestanding illuminated man-made star, constructed in 1949 at the top of Mill Mountain in Roanoke, Virginia. It was the largest star ever assembled until the El Paso Star was completed in El Paso, Texas. However, the Mill Mountain Star still holds the claim to world''s largest illuminated man-made free-standing star, as the El Paso Star lies flat on the ground. After construction of the star, Roanoke was nicknamed "Star City of the South". In 1949, the Roanoke Merchants Association decided to kick off that year''s Christmas shopping season by having a neon star built on top of Mill Mountain. Although the structure was always intended to be a permanent addition, the merchants at first weren''t sure if the star should be lit year round.
