  1. Southwest becomes dominant carrier at Norfolk International
  2. First contract awarded for Light Rail
  3. You won't find a bigger supporter of elevated rail than me, but it's just not realistic for our area. There's too much sprawl, and it's just too expensive. Ideally, we'd all have time transporters and not even need public or private transportation, but that too is unrealistic.
  4. Vdogg, I saw those a while ago but my thinking was that it was just a generic design for the hotel. Maybe there has been a major redesign (which would be nice) but I doubt it. I think that those were just focusing on the hotel and using some other random things for the background maybe. I could be completely wrong but I just have a feeling. Because if so, then he has 3 different renderings of the same project on the same page.
  5. NO MORE PICTURES!? hahahaha just playing. get better soon man!
  6. I agree with Tel, I think we should have done monorail all along. Where I lived in Japan, they started out with only buses for transit and then went to a starter line monorail (13 km long) in 2003. It carries about 60,000 passengers per day and keeps growing. I think they chose monorail because it was too crowded for anything else, but still, it just looks so cool and it avoids traffic and pedestrian accidents. But *sigh*, reality must set in because of costs.
  7. That is great, but I would have expected MacArthur Center to already have one. Oh well, late is better than never, for sure. I really like Banana Republic.
  8. From the Fort Norfolk Plaza website (Aug 19) "Fort Norfolk Plaza will be home of Midtowne Jazz Club and Restaurant. The ground floor of Fort Norfolk Plaza is a great location for Dr. Newby
  9. I'm very excited about this. I only wish it had street access.
  10. Wow, the second-to-last one shows a lot of density! I think Norfolk has come a loooong way recently.
  11. Wow, I've been waiting for shots like that! Thanks vaceltic!
  12. I found this on Flickr toinght, uploaded Aug 1 by divemasterking2000
  13. Thanks for the link. I really wish it would have had outside access as well. Oh well, I guess that leaves plenty of room for Bloomingdales!
  14. Has anyone seen the progress on the Barnes & Noble in MacArthur Center? All I've seen is a "Coming Soon" on the website. Also, my memory is slipping. Is it supposed to have direct access to the outside, or are the only entrances from inside the mall/garage?
  15. I just moved from a military base, and I can tell you that I would not be caught dead on a bus, but a train is a whole different story. Trains are so much more reliable and they just have a whole different (better) feeling than a bus. I really think that LR would catch on on bases, but the only problem is security with checkpoints and such.
  16. Thanks for the Rotunda update!
  17. I thought I'd share this here in case people didn't see it in the skyline thread. This is one of the best evening shots I've seen of Norfolk, and it shows Harbor Heights, Trader, and the new Cruise Terminal well. I did not take this picture, and after searching for the owner through Flickr (where I saved it from one time), I can't find him. I took his orginal and cropped it to show just the skyline. I love this shot!
  18. I found this cool image on Flickr from Harborfest, courtesy of fchornik.
  19. The entire outside? It's not going to be off-whiteish anymore?
  20. Norfolk Airport numbers up Seems like we hit bottom already.
  21. oh yeah, that's a LOT better!
  22. Great shots rus!! HH really lifts Boush street.
