Norfolk History To Be Saved?

Not if council members have their way.  Three historic buildings in downtown Norfolk will be razed for a new hotel and convention center.  Preservationists are mounting a petition drive to force the city to delay the demolition.  This is a last resort effort.  The signs are up and demolition of this real estate is imminent.  The council does not want to stop the destruction of the three buildings.  On a side note, Norfolk's downtown area was named in May as one of the Most Endangered Historic Sites in Virginia by the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities/Preservation .  Now we now way.
