At night? You can. I wouldn't.
It might be perfectly safe, but there has been a good bit of "we don't have a gang problem, no danger to the public" shootings in Roanoke. Generally, it has been very late at night, but dark comes early now, so you never know when something like that might happen.

You'll be fine safety wise, but it's a hike going back. All uphill

Yeah, it's around 2 miles, and it's not going to be a fun walk, regardless

You can, but that's a hike. Uber would be less than $10.
