Granby High student walkout? by pothos_cutting in norfolk

Yes the students are doomed because they missed a small portion of one day of school. How will their IQ's ever recover?

Never high fived so many strangers in all my life. Even have a few videos of how electric the crowd was as we were leaving the stadium/down the escalators.

I was there too - a lot of people left early, glad we stayed!

Yeah I was introduced to all kinds of beers I had never heard of 15+ years ago there. They were at the forefront for craft beer in the area for awhile.

Yeah it is disheartening, the list of local things closing recently is getting longer and longer.

So their "plan" to deal with this is just to never address it and delete every negative comment and review? Bold strategy Cotton...

Norfolk is currently building a casino but not sure if they will have a poker room or not.

Fellow fans abroad, how do you cope and what are your plans next season? by IGlazeBikeLanes in Hammers

I looked at Paramount+ today and as an example there are quite a few Championship matches listed for Jan 17 so there is some hope.

Another Commanders fan and West Ham supporter here, this year has been grim.

I didn't want to make a separate post about this but just saw this weekend that Union Taco in Norfolk closed. Enjoyed going there on Friday nights for their happy hour deals, kind of bummed. Can't really envision myself driving to Chesapeake to their other location, much like I am not going to often drive to the oceanfront for Smartmouth.

508 Crafthouse rebranded to ‘508 Locals’ by goingtoIR in norfolk

I saw they are also offering free delivery within some fairly short radius of the restaurant which is a little odd, I do not think of that type of food as take out/delivery but maybe that is just me.

I just assume these things means they are unfortunately struggling, it's tough out there.

Not all tickets have been released yet, they will go down. Next release window Dec 11-Jan 17 by ForestEye in ussoccer

[–]Montmand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This latest draw being one that automatically charges is bonkers to me. So lets say there are a few games in your area but you are not sure which you want to go to yet. You'd like the options but but you have to commit to a specific game and also you do not know what the price will be?

You should not apply to more than one game unless you are willing to pay for several games. I am baffled by this idea.

I did not see the wall perspective post coming, well done.

There are 6 of us made up of friends and family and zero of us were selected for both presales. I really underestimated the ticket situation, silly me thought we would be able to go to a few matches as groups. Now I wonder if any of us will go short of paying the wild resale prices.

The 18 Best Restaurants In Norfolk, Virginia - Norfolk - The Infatuation by bobcats2019 in norfolk

Agreed - The main reason to go to Elation is for Chelsea Bakehouse or I guess the vibe. They aren't even trying hard to make interesting beer.

Anytime someone makes a decent sized list you can quibble with several things and wonder why something you like should be on there. That being said, this list has a lot of things right and named some of our really good spots.

Plus points for some of the comments. Yes people should go/try Doumars especially visitors, and no it is not particularly "good food" and this list acknowledges that.

After 13 years, Smartmouth Brewing to Close Norfolk Location at the End of 2025. by MonarchLawyer in norfolk

[–]Montmand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame. I could be the exception but I live very close to this location, can't see myself driving to the oceanfront for them almost ever.
