“Love is in the air/Everywhere I look around/Love is in the air/Every sight and every sound”. It seems that as the years progress, Valentine’s Day seems to get a bigger steroid boost. What that means for us relationship-ers—intimate, platonic, premature, or strictly casual—are restaurants going over the top to cater to those in Cupid’s chokehold.

JoAnn Falletta's 20th Anniversary Celebration in Norfolk

Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 8:00PM

Virginia Opera is collaborating with the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia (FSEVA) to fight hunger in Hampton Roads by hosting a Food Drive during the production of Wagner's THE VALKYRIE. The Food Drive begins Monday, Jan. 24, 2011 and runs through Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 2011.

"Donations to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia are typically very strong during the holiday season, but taper off as the new year begins. One in four people in our community depend on the Foodbank year round, so the Virginia Opera couldn't be collecting food at a better time!" said Abby Weber, Food and Fund Drive Coordinator for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.

Have you ever been to Waterside in downtown Norfolk and wondered about what is on the other side of the river...the Elizabeth River, that is? Well I have just the adventure for you. There's a paddle wheel ferry that runs from Waterside, just behind the Waterside Mall on High Street in Norfolk to the Visitor Information Center at 6 Crawford Parkway in Portsmouth. It's a pedestrain ferry (no cars allowed) but you can bring your bicycle if you like. It only take about 15 minutes to cross the river, but it is 15 minutes of relaxation and the views are wonderful. The ferry dates back to the 1636 when a skiff was rowed across the river. The ferry form of transportation has had many transformation over the years to the ferry they use today.
