eating in Lynnhaven Borough.

 

Hurd's (seafood restaurant) inhabited the back of the Little Neck area for decades..

At the time, the area was not incorporated in to Virginia Beach, so it's location was characterized as Lynnhaven (Borough). Today, there is still a Hurds Road located in the area.

In the days when MasterCard was still mastercharge.

I like this hand-drawn art on their menu cover.. and check out the prices~

young Cavalier

Cavalier under construction. 1926

Aerial shot of the Cavalier. 1927.

What I find interesting about this view, you can see that Atlantic, Pacific, and Holly were already established routes. And they remained basically unchanged for a hundred years. I think Atlantic was recently truncated in to a dead end (to create space for new buildings), but.. Even just a few years back,  Atlantic Avenue still followed this 1927 route. 

There's a nice (mostly photo) book on the history of the Cavalier: The Cavalier. Reclaiming a Virginia Beach Icon. That's the source for the construction photo above. And the book has a lot of modern photos of the Cavalier's remodel.
