Back in the 80s, this building on Virginia Beach Blvd housed a chain meat shop called Murry's. Murry's was a regional chain.. Maryland, Virginia, DC.. I think mostly Mid-Atlantic and upper South.
The building is at 4135 - 4143 Virginia Beach Blvd, and is now occupied by a cabinet showroom and a cake shop.. the building has a subtle second story. Back in the mid-80s, the second story had some apartment units. There was a cool kid (Amanda) who used to live over the meat shop..



Behind the Murry's during the 80s & 90s, was a small, well hidden collection of shacks. They looked like they may have once been temporary housing for long-gone migrant workers. They seemed really out of place in late 20th Century Virginia Beach. But, who knows..
