Obscure 1982 Virginia Beach themed game, All About Town .. I assume designed to promote (mostly small) Beach businesses. Bought a used one years ago..

(ghoulish father & son, showing off their enormous fish.. but I do think the art on the Norwegian Lady and the Lynnhaven House is good)

These are some of the game cards, resemble old Monopoly type cards..

Details on the defunct Pavilion..
Oceanfront Inn. I like the early 80s appropriation of Pac-Man as their letter c. Old 804 area code.
Tandom's, where the WaWa on Virginia Beach Blvd (by Hobby Lobby) now operates.

Kinda like this logo, a seagull contorted in to a 'B' initial.. wonder if anyone ever took them up on their complimentary gift.

Game board & style of play basically resembled the game of LIFE. Actual Beach businesses were used as stops along the course. It's cool nostalgia now.
