Happy Holidays from Norfolk VA!
This time of the year is normally a time for holiday gatherings. I love photo sharing so I am sharing some photos I took while attending a luncheon on today. I feel it is a great way to let someone experience a moment in time with you. Visuals always seem to help when I am reading something.These photos were taken from the balcony and from the inside of the banquet room reserved for our group of about 30 people. The whole Downton Norfolk itself was dressed up very festively. It is good to see people out enjoying time with friends, family, colleagues, business associates and others. Today I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with a group of other real estate professionals. The facility we were eating at had a beautiful water front view.
As we know when it comes to real estate, the house is important but other attractions make it a selling point as well. Buyers, especially new to the area want to know what the area has to offer.
Our waterfront areas have been a place where I have enjoyed many events over the years. The street shown in the backdrop is Waterside Drive. When it comes to eating it was a popular road for me when I first got into housing on the non-profit side back in 1988. The Waterside Festival Marketplace had eateries where you could walk to from the Downtown businesses, get your food quickly and timely, and get back to work within an hour. The walk I am sure helped with keeping my weight off back in those days. It remained a favorite got to place of mine for many years. I look forward to how it will look when the current plans for the surrounding areas is put in to fruition.
The World Trade Center is the actual building the luncheon was held at. The luncheon was on the third floor at the Town Point Club in Norfolk, Virginia. I think this is an awesome view to enjoy from the third floor of a facility. From having visited some of the offices higher up and working in some of the top floors in the downtown area, you probably already know the views are even more magnificent on the higher levels. In the backdrop is a picture of a contemporary museum, NAUTICUS.
The Town Point Club had a very nice buffet style set up. Our group had a private room. And the tables featured a practical and replicable holiday table theme idea. Even myself, not the best at interior decorating could do this. It has class and elegance to it. I would never thought of it though.
Happy Holidays to everyone and I hope you have had a great year! The early bird still catches the worm. I was able to capture this photo by arriving ahead of the other guests.
Additional photos: Nauticus and Freemason Harbour Condo complex, and other waterfront condos view from balcony at The Club as it is so affectionately called.
View from inside the banquet room for small groups.
The photo below is not an illusion. It was taken by the person taking the photo aiming at a stained glass with me in the backdrop. And she did a fantastic job of not being captured in the photo.
I hope you have enjoyed my little photo tour. And I just want to let you know Norfolk is a great place to come visit. This area is over built in retail which makes it a great attraction for tourists. I was born and raised in the area and I can never recall a time when there wasn't something to do!
Happy Holidays!
