I dont know why they chose this site . They should work on the other side. That side needs more work.

All of these issues that have been brought up are the exact reason why me and my family will be leaving this area come summer time. I’ve waited to long for something to be done. It’s not just Wards Corner. It’s hampton Roads as a whole. I feel that my family will be better of moving west. My patience has run out.

That letter perfectly describes your hope, your frustration and fear, and a very real sense the city of Norfolk leadership has not done its job. It’s sad you are at a last resort–asking for a basic sense of decency and conscience to support your family and neighborhood.

I so feel your pain. I moved to denby park 20 years ago it was a nice quiet working class neighborhood with mostly retired people. then the city decided that east ocean view belonged to millionaires and bulldozed it. since then all i have heard is the flushing sound of norfolk using our neighborhood for its toilet. it wont be too long and im just gonna walk away. after paying a mortgage and taxes for 20 years i couldn’t sell my house for what i paid for it even if i wanted to. it sure is nice to have the government to rely on. that is if you are a parasite and not a producer.

This is a great letter Tricia. It is a truly sad situation that your kids have to grow up in such a situation. My heart goes out to you and others going through this. I pray that the situation there is improved and soon.

The city doesn’t do anything because we have “NO MONEY”, yet the new court complex will go up and now we are looking into the Waterside improvements. We should be selling Waterside because the city can not afford to rebuild and maintain the property, and the citizens of this city can not afford to carry that burden. This city has managed to chase away large tax paying business and all their tax burdens fall on the home owners. Are area has 4 councilmen and the Mayor and we get little or NO money allocated to do what need to be done here, I think that says a whole lot for how much they care; because five out of the eight is a majority.. If they really wanted change we would have change, all we get is lip service. It is time to change our City Council, or maybe we could all just do like Paul Riddick and not pay out taxes until we got services in out area.

It’s not just Denby Park. I live in Suburban Park and I have to constantly deal with trash in my yard and people blowing their horns or screaming after leaving the new club. I thought all of that would have changed once Nutty Buddy closed but it hasn’t. The entire area needs an overhaul and I hope one day your children will be able to ride their bikes and climb the tree in peace!

Comment on Crime reports continue in 300 blocks of Little Creek, San Antonio, and Fort Worth by Denise Wilson

Joe is correct when he states that crime is not only in those blocks! I live Adjcaent to Temple Israel on Granby St.and my car (Toyota Corolla Sport) was Vandalised on January 2nd…I still can’t believe that someone would actually steal a side view mirror out of it’s casing. My car wasn’t hit…broken into or anything like that…they just stole my driver’s side…side view mirror!!!
