All set to go. It talks about how we are getting more ships after the Baltimore bridge collapse. Also ORF will get more business.

I really thought we would have a casino here by the time I was old enough to gamble. I still got 3 1/2 years but I dont see a casino in sight. Then again I think I should save up money before I ever gamble a dollar off...

What the hell was wrong with Norfolk back then. We destroyed our own damn city and decided to slap "renewal" on it. If destroying the city was "renewal", then ill be damned! The firebombing of Tokyo and the Nuking of Hiroshima must have been "urban rejuvenations"!

Yea. Norfolk and VB are not really enemies per say, but our cities definitely got beef. Not that we hate each other of course but its the fact we never get along. Which might be over racist mindsets or more fears of "Hoods" spreading to VB which was a source of fear someone I know personally had said to me once....which was either a insult to me or a generalization of our city through the eyes of the rich folk in Ocean Front. I dont know. Either way the fears and divides are real and its impossible to heal what damage has been done.

If your expecting VB and Norfolk to come together I'm pretty sure those are pretty high hopes.

Oh my Lord what the heck is this. The fact the Virginia Beach mayor got involved and told us to "Dream On" is f**king fantastic. Does he even know WHY the light rail is taking less passengers? "Doesn't go where people need to go" - VB Mayor, Does he's know WHY it doesn't go where people go? BECAUSE YOU WONT LET US BUILD IT TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. ITS A TRAIN, ITS NOT GOING TO F**KING STAND UP ONE DAY AND BUILD ITSELF TO WHERE "People need to go". YOU NEED TO BUILD IT. Anyways thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was just starting to think VB would work with Norfolk for once. Reality hits like a darn train...

Thats like making a movie set in Norfolk but using NYC as the back drop.

Sometimes I wish the relocation of trees was a more effective solution. Before you ask me what the heck im talking about, its a real thing. Some cities relocate their old trees entirely rather than cut them down.

Thats weirdly a interesting topic for how we got the mermaid theme.

I might be an idiot for thinking this but this might be retail at the first floor. I dont see any other reason to have these glass fronts here unless its an additional entrance. ^

Well now I guess I can say it. Iv been thinking they should just use MacArthur's existing infrastructure to make a Downtown Casino, ya know with some towers and street grid coming out of it too. Then again I think alot of us caught onto that

The more I look at it, the more I wish they would just split the damn mall up back into our street grid. Downtown looks like its pushed to the edges with no street grid going through it.

So basically this is almost a 95-99% chance of happening. It has a developer, its kinks are worked out, and the city is working with them too. I think this is gonna happen. The only question now is not IF but WHEN.

There is litterly nothing wrong with this concept at all. Its everything it should be for the area its in. Its Hot, Its sexy, and its in Norfolk. Thats all we need. Now lets get this built!
