A street in Norfolk, Virginia. This street is the historic commercial corridor of Norfolk, and also the community heart of the city, has been undergoing major redevelopment for the past five years. Today, theatres, restaurants, and businesses line Granby Street in the downtown area. The street spans from its historic downtown along the Elizabeth River north to the Chesapeake Bay where it ends at the Ocean View neighborhood. Notorious in the 1970s for its drug usage and prostitution, Granby Street has since become a popular nighttime destination.
Famous quotes containing the word street:
“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism—that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. In the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
