Members of the Plowshare peace group returned to their spot outisde the Roanoke City Market Building on Saturday.
This after Plowshare, the city and the Market Building Foundation reached an aggreement to end a dispute.
The group has been here for years, holding silent vigils in Market Square.
"We've been doing this on and off for 40 years and every month for the last 7 years," Executive Director Gary Sandman says.
Members of the Plowshare Peace and Justice Center were back to their usual spot after an effort to oust the group was settled recently.
The Market Building Foundation is leasing a portion of the sidewalk along Campbell Avenue back to the city, making it available for public assembly. It also makes way for the plowshare vigils to resume.
Around two dozen people were there Saturday. Their concerns are mostly U.S involvement in wars overseas.
"We have people who hand out fliers that list the casualties and costs of these wars. We're very organized," says Sandman.
While there are some who share the group's views, there are certainly others who see it differently.
Brent Clinevell says, "No one want to go to war, but sometimes you just have to fight unfortunately because there are people around the world people that want to come here and kill you and your family. So, let's kill them first."
According to its website, the Plowshare Peace and Justice Center is the oldest continuous peace group in the Commonwealth.
