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:
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
