  1. I’m sure the “Chinese takeout box” further comes from the Japanese dish Yakisoba. Yak=Yock. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakisoba In this region, I definitely think of crabs, soft shell, she crab soup, local clams and oysters, the local fish. The colonial era Peanut Soup, the Orange Crush from Waterman’s, the Norfolk “snapdog”- locally created hotdog unique to this region (it’s a dying creation).
  2. Too bad that Beau Rivage tower didn’t get built there. That was some more unique architecture.
  3. Yea, where the hell is the dome on The Dome? Hmmm
  4. Mediterranean restaurant, Mezeh is building out (and in) at Lynnhaven Mall. Just right of the main entrance. They are building out a steel beam overhang in front of their door right now.
  5. Thankfully LaGuardia and JFK are in NYC and on Long Island already.
  6. Love their coffee and their company’s ethos! I’ve have their Silencer Smooth light roast, the medium Freedom Roast, Tactisquatch (you just have to see the picture ), to their Just Black dark roast and more. Great coffees. Any movement on their store coming to VB Blvd and Davis st. In VB?
  7. But with Haddad’s quote in my previous post saying that they are 90 something percent filled and office tenants are looking to expand, wouldn’t that speak to the contrary?
  8. As a kid I was excited to get those inflight Piedmont peanuts from my grandma when she flew down from New York.
  9. https://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4486111-armada-hoffler-properties-inc-ahh-ceo-lou-haddad-on-q4-2021-results-earnings-call-transcript found this meeting transcript from 3 days ago about Q4 2021 earnings. A couple paragraphs of note-
  10. I flew back home today into ORF and notice this typo on a huge poster sign at the departure terminal to ped bridge. The same typo is also on their website. They should fix this. Federal mandate requires wearing a mask at all times in the airport. Failure to comply may result in removal and denial of re-entry. Refusing to wear a mask in or on the airport is a violation of Federal mandate and individuals may be subject to Federal penalties.
  11. Flying into ORF today- Norfolk-Oceanview, ORF, et al. Va Beach- Little Creek, Chic’s Beach/Shore Dr., Ft. Story/Cape Henry, Oceanfront, Town Center and in between.
  12. I flew into ORF today and took some pics out of the window. I am still enamored with the Earth from above.
  13. I was there yesterday too. Ate at Bahama Breeze and my wife made her last appointment at the salon we go to there, Hue, until they solidify where they are moving to next. They even still had Christmas decorations hanging from the ceilings in the hallways.
  14. They don’t own the air rights, do they? Leave the existing building and parking lot alone and build a tower starting on a 50/60ft pier above.
  15. More on the ODU research front. This is pretty cool! 50+ ODU researchers rank in the top 2% scientists in the world. I don’t know what they’re researching, but it’s gotta be good press for the university. https://www.odu.edu/news/2022/1/stanford_rankings?fbclid=IwAR2_L_Y3XraKHRiG-jDggXeOar0gRWWUEZT2oW8uctMNOhwbvcSu0yzqCKA#.YeLsiBZOmEc
  16. I private teach music at the dance studio near the Walmart. We just moved there from Great Bridge in September. Anybody need drum, guitar,piano lesson? There is lots of flatland, old farmland no doubt, waiting to be developed over there. It seems like a growing corridor. Tap it! is good, there a new pho place over there and a couple other newer shops that are filling in Cahoon Commons.
  17. The end of the month is when all the interior stores need to vacate.
  18. Yea, that “golf ball” dome at Oceana is very important for air security and tracking, IFF, and stuff. Tall buildings put a blind spot in the radars view. https://www.pilotonline.com/news/article_c02b91f0-a086-5605-84bf-b5f5cb3cdbe7.html?outputType=amp
  19. Heard from an employee at 5.11 (outdoor/tactical clothing store) where I currently get my Black Rifle coffee beans from that 2 locations are coming to VB. ‘Twould be awesome if that’s true.
  20. Just plugging in the distance now, Stansted was actually the shortest time to London between all three airports.
  21. I don’t think so. There are already natural roads built in an around the parking lots blocks and mall, they just need to make them…proper.
  22. A Black Rifle Coffee Company café and store is coming to VB on the NE corner of Davis and VB Blvd across from Guitar Center! I am so excited for this. There coffees are fantastic!
  23. I would assume since it was mentioned in the thread that outdoor stores will stay open. But I didn’t hear it from my niece. I have a friend who owns a hair salon there. I’ll have to get the scoop from her but, man I feel for her.
  24. Something I didn’t hear or read from the newest report, my niece who works in the mall said today that her job told her that the Mall is closing and needs to be vacated by 12/31. She’s the 2nd person I heard that from.
