Pass this photo onto your mother if possible. One of the old switch boards in the AT&T building downtown Norfolk.

Picture of the indoor market as of this morning. On a positive note.... They were stocking the shelves of the ABC Store this morning on Granby.

Some opening and closing in downtown Norfolk: Opening soon: ABC Store is moving along at 143 Granby St (old Smoothie King location). Looks like it could be open very soon. Perhaps week or so. Granby Station Food Hall at 100 Block of Granby. Due open late June or early July Chicho's Pizza at 320 Granby St (old FM or Backstage location). Opening in Aug Chesapeake Bay Market at 300 E. Main... last word I heard opening late Aug. I have my doubts as nothing appears to be happening. Inside has been untouched. Recently Closed: Muscle Maker Grill at 147 Granby St is currently close

I attended a grand opening in Ohio several years ago and it was a MAD HOUSE. The lines throughout the store felt like a musemum. I'll give it at least 3 weeks before heading to.

I was in Cincinnati when thiers opened and they had shuttles to and from remote parking lots for the first several weeks. It was a madhouse but I suppose it eventually quieted down.

I'm curious.... What is a fiber company?

Possible new Barcade coming to downtown Norfolk at 258 Granby St. The Circuit Norfolk. One is currently in Richmond. https://www.thecircuitarcadebar.com I love the concept and believe it would be a hit.

The Neon district does not have the people to support this IMHO. How is the 100 block of Granby not a prominent location?

The downtown Civic League would probably shut that down. They have opposed the last two restaurants that have applied for late night hours.

I believe this would make a great outdoor style cafe with the overhang. Very roomy and out of the rain. Unlike much of Granby St.

Congratulations to you then. I guess I should move out of downtown since I don't like the street activity there.

Applebee's on Monticello Avenue open on Monday October 9th. The place looks decent but I'm curious how it will do next door to the 7-Eleven. There is also a new place going in next door to 219 Bistro on Granby. A poke place ( raw fish salads/bowls) and deserts. Edible Arrangements used to be there.

The scaffolding and barriers were removed today.

Residents were able to begin to move in this past weekend. Still not finished with the exterior. It's going at a snail's pace right now.
