From Seashore State Park to Sandbridge.
The span along our oceanfront is one of the nation's richest in the country, when it comes to nature. From Fort Story to the Great Dismal Swamp, there's a diverse community, growing in numbers. It's nice to have been here since 1994 because I've seen, and been affected by, the changes which include a new connection to General Booth from Oceana Blvd. and the destruction of the pier at the arrival of Hurricane Isabel.
Even outside of Harris Teeter, I see the "new" Virginia Beach taking shape, as from it's sliding glass doors, my view of Laskin Rd is now blocked by two very huge structures they are currently putting up. And on the other side of Arctic Ave., new condominiums have just been built, so it's a brand-new view just walking out of Harris Teeter.
The people of Virginia Beach seem different than other Virginians, as they are more likely to come from other states to thrive on the new business world here.
Interstate 264 (44, or the Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway) is like the road to paradise. Especially, coming off of routes 58 and 460. I won't mention the seventh (or eighth) architectural wonder of the world.

"The Virginia Nurses Association the first in the country to come out in favor of medical marijuana, has reconfirmed its support for therapeutic cannabis and called for immediate legislation to legalize its medicinal use. Representing some 80,000 Virginia nurses, the association declared last week that it "will continue" to seek the regularization of medical marijuana as a therapeutic substance."
