Or you can build a single line each way on two parallel streets......one block is not too far, you could run a north bound line on Colley Avenue to 41st street, then meet up with the south bound line on Hampton Boulevard by getting rid of the median (pretty large starting north of 41st street) Alternatively, have a single track running between the Medical center and ODU campus on Hampton Boulevard and then switch to two lanes north bound, and simply stagger the south and North bound trains. would require a lot of planning and attention though.

It is not that I do not mind a casino (though not a fan), I just dont want one at Waterside!

personally, I think an Esprit store would be a good third anchor, not one around the area or Richmond, but quite urban:

That is a gem of a small building, will have to go there When I am back.

With Portsmouth's track record of late, Ill believe it when I see it

Wow, amazing shots, the TCC one looks professional level!

I love the old look of liners, much better than the floating wedding cake cruise liners of today:

Norfolk 1919:

Thanks tel, I would get them myself, but considering I am out in Blacksburg right now it might be a problem.

guys, can we move this racial talk to the off-topic and focus on LRT updates? And can someone grab some pictures this weekend of new lines/construction since January?

Here is an image of the orbital inclinations possible from Wallops, now in certain areas oil could still be drilled (at least for the Wallops range, not sure about the DoD/Navy), but the platforms would have to be evacuated during a launch like what happens in Vandenberg:

Opposition to Off-shore drilling from environmentalist, from Environmentalists, DoD.... and NASA: http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-local_offshore-drilling_0401apr01,0,2214700.story Well, oil drilling really isnt that sustainable environmentally or economically anyhow.... Wallops really is the future.
