We don’t have a Times Square or a Piccadilly Circus... but we have these pretty city lights. • Love this shot of our city! (📸 @newmedia_rva ) ... really proud of the progress we’ve made over the past several decades. 🤞 for more developments around midtown/fort norfolk and harbor park in the near future to really light up the sky💥😉 • • • • • • • #norfolk #ourcity #movinonup #citylights #norfolkva #downtownnorfolk #downtown757 #picadillycircus #timessquare #mermaidcity #developments #lovewhereyoulive

NORFOLK- are you ready to feel the Magic in the air?... or maybe in the water? Carnival recently announced that Carnival Magic will do a series of 12 sailings out of Norfolk. At 1000ft, and carrying ~4000 passengers, the Magic will become the largest cruise ship to ever have sailed out of the port. This again solidifies Norfolk’s presence as one of the major cruise ports in the midatlantic. In its many trips, the ship will carry ~50,000 passengers to various ports of call. A new boarding bridge at the cruise terminal is also part of the “red carpet” treatment and updates that will help speed up the embarkation and disembarkation process. The Magic cruises to several locations, including Bermuda and the Caribbean, Europe and Canada/New England. Could you imagine one day in the future, leaving Norfolk to go to Europe 🌏⁉️ 😉 We are incredibly thankful for our 20+ year partnership with Carnival and looking forward to the next 20+ 💥 .

We’ve been quiet for a while because we’ve been holding our breath! The update the 757 has been waiting for💥 Renderings of Pamunkey Tribe’s Norfolk Casino (courtesy of Pamunkey Tribe)❗️The tribe is saying the Norfolk casino will be a $500 million resort and casino with a 300+ room hotel and attached parking deck for about 2,000 cars. Not to mention a world class Marina. Not to mention panoramic Elizabeth river views. Not to mention a gaming floor, rooftop bar, waterside infinity pool, luxury spa, sports bar and grill, steakhouse, multi-purpose event center and a rooftop outdoor event space. Oh and a stone throw away from an Amtrak station (with increasing service by the year) and light rail station! First phase could come as soon as 2023... throw your hands up if you’re excited 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ #lovenorfolk #getfunky #itshappeningnowgsa #urban #cityscape #downtownnorfolk #downtown757 #harborpark #dreambig #cranes #waterfront #waterfrontpark #casino #hotel #development #arena #norfolk #norfolkva #norfolkva_developments #downtown #clouds #reflection #waterside #baseball #dreambigger #cranes #development #developers #dreaming

❗️POSTED @withregram • @nfk.va Hello Norfolk, If we haven’t met yet, I’m Paul. It’s great to meet you. This week, our first stories are coming to NFKVA.com and I felt like a quick introduction would be appropriate. You might already be familiar with NFK. You may have seen (or heard) the Daily Rundown, you may have read the weekly newsletter, or you may have even seen some stickers around town. I hope that soon, you’ll be seeing a lot more from NFKVA.com. NFKVA.com is a great local domain that I picked up years ago for another project. That original project didn’t work out, but I knew the community deserved something special from NFKVA.com. It took a while to find the right project fit and to find the time to put it all together (thanks, quarantine), but the pieces are finally falling into place. NFKVA.com is first and foremost a project of love. Love for the city that we call home, the neighbors and friends we share it with, and the culture and community that we’re helping to create together. The mission of NFKVA.com is to shed light on the stories in our community that are going uncovered, to support local organizations making our community a better place, and to leave our city better than we found it. We know that ad dollars aren’t enough to support this mission and ads don’t support the community. Instead, we’re supported by a small online shop, that we’ve cheekily started calling the Shop Local Shop. The Shop Local Shop will feature a revolving assortment of community-focused products. There will be merch that allows you to rep the neighborhoods you love. There will be art and designs by locals that you can make your own. There will be items from local nonprofits and small businesses. Every purchase goes to support the mission of this project and it pays the creators, organizations, or individuals who’ve crafted those products. We’re starting small for now. We’ve got just our first few blog posts and shop products dropping this week. With your support, there will be a lot more to come. Welcome aboard. Fired up about NFKand want to help out? Hit the bio link. #Norfolk #NFKVA #Norfolkva #downtownnorfolk #757 #757collective #hamptonroads #HRVA
