REMEMBERING NORFOLK
circa 1959

photo courtesy of Bill Gruss

ere it is in all its glory - Downtown Norfolk in 1959. You can almost smell the Near Beer, can't you? Up and down East Main Street were the quaint little clubs serving non-alcoholic beverages, because alcohol could not be purchased by-the-drink in those days, remember? The Victoria Hotel is off in the distance and there's a shooting gallery across the street, barely visible behind the light pole. Must have been a cold day when this was taken - overcoats and winter garb are clearly visible. And look at the vintage autos.

This photo was sent to us by AD31 Association Life Member, Bill Gruss. Ahhhh, the memories.
