No its not a clothes detergent but a burst of brown algae in portions of the Elizabeth and Lafayette riveres. The dense patches of plant life, are not believed to be toxic but I wouldn't swim in it anyways. Hot temperatures, and nutrient enrichment hasten plant growth and hence the mucky mess. There may be localized fish kills as the algae soaks up the oxygen in the water. As temperatures cool down the mess will go away. … (0 comments)

houses: ETHANOL PLANT OPINIONS ARE OPPOSITES
- 07/18/07 10:27 AM
A group citizens and city officials from Portsmouth and Chesapeake made a visit to two ethanol plants in Wisconsin. Some said it was purtrid and sickening. Some of the officials thought it wasn't that bad. Of course these plants were ten times smaller then the plant proposed for Chesapeake so comparasons may not be possible and the technology is five years old. Of course to me smelly is still smelly.

Oh my what in the world is a retader brake. They are often called Jake Brakes and use the engine of a truck to help slow it down in addition to using regular brakes. For some reason trucks around the Shoulders Hill Rd area have been using the retarder brakes.

Sounds like something for your bladder but it is actually a term used in the world of garbage. This is wordage is so important it may just save SPSA from going under. It is the practice of localities telling people where they have to take their garbage. Private collectors would have to use SPSA locations and transfer stations as well as pay tipping fees. This practice was outlawed but our new high court has brought it back. Seems like a negative thing for most of us but for SPSA it will be a positive. Lets hope SPSA can get out of its … (0 comments)

houses: Build on Bay Oaks? NEVER!!
- 06/12/07 01:08 PM
The city of Norfolk has lost yet another round in trying to build on the 21 acre tree lined property. The property in East Ocean View has been scheduled for 85 homes but now looks to be a lost cause by the city.
The standoff started nearly four years ago when the Norfolk Redevelopement Authority said they were going to build houses on the property when it was originally scheduled to be a park. Since then, the underfunded but not outgunned Bay Oaks Park commitee has fought the city of Norfolk all the way to the Supreme Court.
The mayor doesn't feel … (0 comments)

Lynwood Powell didn't play a lot of golf but when he moved into his house in Lotus Creek, a luxury golf course community in Virginia Beach, he's ready for his game to take off.
Lotus Creek is located next Lago Mar and the Hell's Point Golf Club, just off Sandbridge Rd and Atwoodtown Road. The community with single-family condominium ownership has 45 homes. Considered off-the-beaten track, most people don't know it's there unless they stumble upon it.
The semi-custom homes were built by Beco Construction and Chesapeake Atlantic Development.
Not only are you close to Sandbridge Beach but the oceanfront is not far away. … (0 comments)
