  1. I actually like this proposal. I think Its more balanced than lets say a 50 story Dubai like building sticking out like a sore thumb next too the present development in the area. It just makes more sense from a perspective of scale. Also, with the monorail that would provide a lot of connectivity for the convention center, making high end hotels like the Hilton more feasible of a stay for a convention goer.
  2. WOW look how much more color the new Norfolk has compared to the old! . But seriously, you can see more dense and alive Norfolk is with harbor park, 150 main, Nauticus and all of the other developments over the last decade.
  3. God I hope so. I'll miss the Air Show though.
  4. Random thought: Wouldn't it be nice if there was a ferry that went from the Lynnhaven Inlet near shore drive all the way to Town Center around Columbus Street? Has anyone ever thought of this?
  5. In my personal opinion i would rather have the Hyatt near the convention center than the Sun Rise Development proposal. I'm hoping we get a good mix of the three. Hotel with Monorail service at the dome site. Hyatt at the convention center site, and a mix of what the Sun Rise Developers propose elsewhere.
  6. Indeed priceless. Maybe these "NIMBY's" should all move to Montana. I hear they have trees there.
  7. I love watching all the people who post comments on the pilot cry about their precious "swamp land". I'd rather be doing 65 flying by all that swamp land than to be stuck in 10 mile per hour traffic smelling swamp gas and getting eaten by horse flies. Build this highway already!
  8. Here are a few pics i took of Norfolk on my Thanksgiving vacation with my wife. Enjoy!
  9. funny but maybe slightly off topic comment: You guys seem to take pics of alot of the same places. Have you ever fun into each other in person? also. check out this video this guy marco took of the oceanfront. It looks very urban the way its shot. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=91...front&hl=en
  10. NO, dont get the locals to go to downtown norfolk. Get the locals to go to town center!
  11. well. August 10th i am flying out to norfolk/Va beach. I plan on taking a whole bunch of pics so i will post them up hehe. i will be taking pics of the good and the bad, to give a full perspective on hampton roads.
  12. wow.. i lived in norfolk/virginia beach for years and my has it changed. i remember downtown norfolk being nothing but a nice place to hook up crack. haha. Rust thank you and thank everyone for posting all these beautiful pics up. I cant wait to see more!
  13. Yea! Thats the area. i lived there during hurricanne Gloria. Its insane looking on this site and seeing all the changes going on out there!
  14. i used to live in a neighborhood in norfolk called stoney point.. is that neighborhood still around?
  15. haha nice fish! and its good to see a more REALISTIC type view of where ill probably be living since i am pretty broke at the moment and my move might be sudden and with low amounts of funds. That norfolk neighborhood looks pretty old. What neighborhood is that?
  16. actually to be more specific i would like to see pics of areas that still need to be "fixed" particularly in the norfolk area. i feel that requires a separate thread. i'm looking for the run down, the old, the grimey. i do plan on moving back to hampton roads one day but hopefully i wont be living in such a place. I would like to see the pictures to gain a full perspective of BOTH sides of hampton roads. I hope this makes sense. Thank you!
  17. Does anyone have any pictures of neighborhoods in the hampton roads area? They can be good neighborhoods or the other side of the tracks. I am curious and possibley moving out there and i would like to see what kind of housing i can find. Thanks!
  18. Hello, i am brand new to these boards but i have been looking a the pics of the city and have been amazed. i was raised in the pembroke area of virginia beach. its amazing to see how much has been developed! i wonder if there is someone out there who could photoshop all the new towers going up into this photo to give a different persepective on what the skyline will look like.
