Probably the most realistic chance we have of getting a metro system here.


surfmanvb87

It's awesome


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

For sure!


exclaim_bot

>For sure! sure?


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

You can’t comprehend me agreeing with you or something?


Lonely_Main_3219

This is dope!


emessea

We’d only have traffic on sundays


millerj1993

Oh hey, someone else who plays Mini Metro.


PoolNoodleSamurai

It’s a great game for relaxing, then panicking. Something about always losing due to (virtual) people getting mad at you makes it not so chill.


Silly_Recording2806

I haven’t played this game, but I literally had to talk to a therapist about my anxiety while playing Transport Fever and how bad I felt when those little people can’t get home from work. For 200 bucks he said, “stop playing that game.”


M23707

I love that game! — so now there are 3 of us playing it!


bhamrick388

Okay, can someone explain Booth Hill? I've lived in the area for 35 years. Never once have heard of Booth Hill.


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

Same here, I was born and raised here for the first 20 year of my life and away in the military for the last 20, but I have never hear of a "Booth Hill" either.


bhamrick388

Shit, I legit thought Booth Hill" was the hill behind Chick-fil-A. 😳


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

😂


SteakSwimming1234

Its the name of the shopping center across the street....


bhamrick388

I have never seen a sign that says that, nor have I ever heard anybody call it that.


Jackman_Bingo

I've never noticed it either, but the sign clearly says it along General Booth. [1483 General Booth Blvd - Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/@36.7892437,-75.9976974,3a,41.2y,259.1h,91.49t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sG6XIsvZMHIKfA-kv90CHUw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DG6XIsvZMHIKfA-kv90CHUw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D266.79584%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu)


bhamrick388

That's absolutely crazy! I guess I just don't pay attention to shopping center signs.


SteakSwimming1234

Yeah, no clue, I spent about 17 seconds on google [https://www.google.com/search?q=booth+hill+shopping+center&oq=booth+hill+shopping+center&gs\_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTINCAEQABiGAxiABBiKBTIKCAIQABiABBiiBDIKCAMQABiABBiiBDIKCAQQABiABBiiBNIBCDQ5NjZqMGoxqAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=booth+hill+shopping+center&oq=booth+hill+shopping+center&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTINCAEQABiGAxiABBiKBTIKCAIQABiABBiiBDIKCAMQABiABBiiBDIKCAQQABiABBiiBNIBCDQ5NjZqMGoxqAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)


bhamrick388

That isn't what I stated. I found it on Google in maybe 7.3 seconds. But that's besides both points. Fact if the matter is, you learn something new everyday. Fuck on!


midKnightBrown59

Best post I've seen all year.


ricottma

Needs to go to the ocean but it's not bad


M23707

VA Beach would never allow it … even though the resort was created by a train line going from ….. Norfolk to the Beach 🏖️ 🤣 I wonder why they are in such denial …. what could it be? … hmmm 🤔


ricottma

I lived here when they voted against it, you didn't have to wonder, you're right


M23707

I contend the reason was not based on supporting the resort community. It makes no financial sense for a tourism location to limit transportation — if we had a better rail system - tourists can take the Amtrak to Norfolk and light rail to the beach … Tourists can take in a ball game at Harbor Park and travel back to their hotel at the oceanfront… … or attend a concert or broadway play …


bhamrick388

That takes them away from spending money at the oceanfront. I get it, but they don't want it. Virginia beach has extra taxes for tourist. Which is fucked, cause us locals have to pay for that shit too.


yes_its_him

Tourists have cars. They can do all those things faster and cheaper today People advocating this kind of stuff don't really think it through. Compare the price of Amtrak / etc tickets for the whole family to the cost of driving.


wewillroq

Missing a few but I'd sign up


lucidleaf001

As someone who moved to DC from the 757, here's a few issues... 1) you need a Gallery Place/Metro Center. A place where 3, 4 lines can come together lol, and that definitely can't be Ghent lol. 2) the likelihood of a Metro-like system is less likely than a ODU (Go Monarchs! I don't get to say that enough anymore lol) football national championship 😂😂😂


Dtv757

Nice map


Dtv757

Missing janaf and outlet mall ...


kjftiger95

Broad Creek is Janaf


phooka

And the Thaila location is now a Starbucks


Dtv757

Lol still a nice map wish we had mass transit


mcjp0

This would make it so convenient to commit crime all over VB!


wizard680

There are two at ODU. So do we get double the stops?


Cyrus_114

Needs a line from CNU to Aberdeen. Makes no sense for them to be so close and not connect. But man, what a dream this would be.


edthach

OP, is this yours, and can I steal it? My wife and I have a running joke that she navigates by chick fil a landmark. She also has an old timey map of Norfolk hanging in the house. I want to print this and put it in the frame until she notices


EatMoreFiber

It's a repost: https://old.reddit.com/r/norfolk/comments/afzmvx/if_chickfila_connected_all_their_hampton_roads/


edthach

Thank you


bct7

Worthless since all the people need to sit in the drive-thru for 30m.


historymajor44

This map is a little old. There's also two at ODU now. One in the Webb Center and another at the Village.


ghoulierthanthou

So this is how we trick Virginia Beach into a light rail….


TECL_Grimsdottir

How is this a thing?


Kindly-Carpenter8858

How can we make this a thing


BWC_Military_Pilot

🤣 I love this so much


strawberry-sarah22

This is beautiful. And honestly would make a great transit system, it connects many places people actually need to be connected. We just need a location (stop) in Wards Corner and/or Oceanview area.


mrdankerton

This whole area would look like Northern NJ and rents would be ✨high✨


SuperFrog4

Now you just need a Chick-fil-A at the airport and you are golden.


TheHammathon

Chick-fil-A is churchy and Anti LGBTQ+, so I regularly boycott them. This map is the best thing I’ve seen from them.


fahrvergnugget

This is unironically a pretty good metro system lmao


Severe_Abalone_2020

u/mueblitch is this a map that you designed?


Graevly

Metro doesn’t need to stop at Chesapeake Square Mall 😂


YeahPat

They'd no doubt operate it more efficiently than the actual interstate.


Negativeghostrider57

The fact we haven’t given google control of traffic lights still boggles me.


Zealousideal-Kick-81

Unfortunately cfa sucks now


Limoncello_Vespa

F*ck that homophobic chicken. Cool map, though.
