The row/Bristol at Ghent condos.

Those brick streets look really neat but driving over them on a car with a stiff suspension makes you not like em as much lol.

Wow Rusthebuss, thanks for all the pics. For some reason I just noticed how much the Hague Apartment tower needs to be externally (and probably internally too) redone. It could look a lot better and blend in with the skyline more if it had a renovation.

I agree about the Hague Tower, although it's still one of the most expensive buildings to rent out of in HR (up there with Harbor Tower and Mayflower Seaside on the Oceanfront). I wish they'd encase all the random (and kind of ugly) balconies in a glass curtain wall and really modernize the building.

And agreed about the pics! Thanks rus so much!

Had to show you those cobblestone roads even though it about made my car fall apart. You almost have to have a SUV to drive on those roads! I might take some more today.

the pic of the warehouse with the green shudders reminds me of the old warehouse that houses the Virginia Holocaust Museum in Richmond:

nice pics man, thanks for sharing.

That warehouse is a junk yard believe it or not and its a very bad neighborhood.

lol damn well at least they kind of look the same though they are in totally different contexts.

I have always loved the exterior look of the Hague, interior does need to be redone. The exterior always reminded me of the towers you would find in Philly.

[rusthebuss]

I love the Hague and I don't think it needs to be modern either. When is the last time any of you guys have been inside. Sometimes you need some buildings that looked aged but have aged well. So do like some of the photos mikefaceless? I told you guys you have created a photo monster now.

The people on this site are fascinated by those fish. . I think you're the 3rd person to take a picture of those.

[rusthebuss]

They weren't from the same place were they?

I believe so. I think it was one of guynvb's or willys pic or both. I'm gonna search the Ghent thread now cause i know i've seen that somewhere.

[rusthebuss]

I never knew that pond and stuff was there until today. I've been Norfolk almost my entire life except the two miserable years i spent in Richmond. People were out there laying on towels walking around and enjoying the breeze from the waters edge. Alot of couples out there. I can't wait till they finish the fishing pier!
