Dogs know best!
Have you ever heard that a dog "knows" when an earthquake is about to hit?
Have you ever heard that a dog can "sense" when a tornado is stirring up, even twenty miles away?
I'm a firm believer that animals - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth.And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.

Ghetto.. Fresh?!
Ghetto Fresh in OV is getting a make over! Yep, that is correct, the
Farm Fresh in Ocean View is getting a face lift and will no longer be
the scourge of the "View". According to the checkout girl, the
renovations will take about 4 months. So June should bring a fresh face
to fresh food! Yippee.. I cannot wait for the walk in beer cooler!

Panel advances bill to aid redevelopment in East Ocean View
By HARRY MINIUM, The Virginian-Pilot
RICHMOND - A State Senate committee agreed Wednesday that Norfolk needs
more time to redevelop blighted areas in East Ocean View.
With little debate, and half a dozen Norfolk city officials in the
audience, the Senate General Laws and Technology Committee unanimously
approved SB 1138. Without the bill, sponsored by Sen. Nick Rerras,
R-Norfolk, city officials say redevelopment efforts in East Ocean View
would end in July.
Councilman W. Randy Wright told the committee that the bill has
generated no opposition in East Ocean View, and that parts of the
Chesapeake Bay community remain seriously blighted.
City officials said the legislation is needed because of a law written
by then-Del. Thelma Drake in 2002 that specified that redevelopment, and
thus any taking of blighted property through eminent domain, ends in
July.
Drake, now a c congresswoman, said Wednesday she supports Rerras' bill,
though she doesn't necessarily believe it's needed.
Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority officials said there are as
yet no firm plans to further redevelop the East Ocean View.
The housing authority led efforts to develop a 90-acre area of East
Ocean View where the East Beach community is being built. Approximately
1,600 homes, most of them blighted and some taken by eminent domain,
were razed to make way for East Beach.
However, swaths of dilapidated apartments and rundown homes remain, city
officials said.

It Blows in OV
Another nor'easter wreaks havoc on the shores of the Chesapeake and in Ocean View. Flooding by Bay Oaks Park and in the pretty lake neighborhood as well. The fun never ends when it blows especially for the people who live down in Willoughby...
With all the bad, there was some good. Of the number of telephone poles that have been hit and a band aid slapped on them, in front of the Best Western, a phone pole snapped during the height of the storm. Of course this was a temporary fix telephone pole from a previous accident. Mother nature blew it down and the utility company had to come out and replace it with a new one. It is a shame that it take a good blow to cause the city to come out and fix the broken telephone poles. I am tempted to contact the city and have them increase the speed limit on Ocean View Ave to 75MPH. This will cause the utility poles that are hit by the reckless drivers to snap completely in half, thus forcing the city to replace vice repair the poles.
