Neighborhood Spotlight: Wythe of Hampton, Va. - 12/11/08 12:56 PM
Wythe is one the oldest, most historic neighborhoods of Hampton, Va., named after George Wythe, one of the original signers of the United States Declaration of Independence. The hundreds of homes that reside in this landmark boast of pride and beauty. Pride really does say it all when driving through the area or stopping to speak with one of the residents. Members of the neighborhood's home owners association take their roles serious in maintaining the integrity of this section of Hampton. My travels through Wythe led me to some of the friendliest people in the city. There was always someone either … (0 comments)

Neighborhood Profile: Ghent - 12/05/08 12:05 PM
Out of the hundreds of neighborhoods in Hampton Roads, most of its 1.7 million residents have heard of Ghent, which is one of the more popular historical districts of Norfolk, located near downtown.  Much of this large area was built in the early 1900's and is commonly known as Ghent, West Ghent, or East Ghent.  The architecture of most of the residences and businesses is amazing and has been, for the most part, left intact.  There's nothing like it in any of the surrounding cities.  For those who love historical landmarks, you'll love to just wander down the streets of Westover … (0 comments)
