Town Point Park is GONE!!

On a normal day I get up from bed, brush my teeth, run 5 miles and then shower for the day, but today was different. The morning cold instantly turned me off from wanting to run, so I stayed inside and did my usual preparation for the day. However, when I walked out of my condo to check the mail I noticed that the weather had become perfectly sunny. Despite having already showered I was immediately inspired to jump into my shorts and tank top and take to running!!

In the midst of making my way through Downtown Norfolk I was taken aback by a most horrifying sight behind a wire fence. Town Point Park is totally leveled!! All of the trees are gone!! The red brick and paved pathways are all destroyed!! Bulldozers were hauling earth back and forth and jackhammers were hard at work!! This is a real shame since I recently got used to running through that park during the day. I assume that renovations are under way to improve the look of the park, which isn't a bad thing. Hopefully this city project will soon be done so I can resume running through that waterside area.
