    I came here after going to a sports card show in Norfolk. It wasn't a planned visit but I was just…read morelooking for something interesting to look at since I had a lot of free time and the weather was nice on Saturday. I thought it would be a lot larger but the spot is quite small but it is very nice to walk around. There are also lots of nice areas adjacent to the garden and terrace as well. I parked in front of the garden went around it and then found the USS Wisconsin and the Naval museum just past the garden. I went around and finished checking out the other side of the garden after. The parking was free for 2 hrs in front of the garden and it seemed like parking in general was plentiful and open this weekend. It looked like college dormitories around the garden and some other residential areas around the middle of downtown Norfolk. There were many nice plants in the garden, the terrace was nice but not open as far as I could tell, and the koi pond was nice if someone would clean out the pond scum from the fish pond. There were small bridges over the water and multiple water fountains in the koi pond. There were a few benches to sit on if you wanted to just relax or meditate in the garden. Overall, it was a nice garden but it is not something to go downtown to see, but it is a nice additional thing to see if you are going to the USS Wisconsin and the Naval museum or if you staying in downtown area. Lots of people were exercising (walking and jogging) so it is a nice scene to pass by if you are doing that.

    Great spot to walk around. There's ice cream inside too! Very yummy. Beautiful day to explore.read more

    I visited on a beautiful cloudless day and left grateful and teary eyed…read more The park has letters written by sailors who never made it home. If you read any of them, many are absolutely gut wrenching. The curved sheet metals are supposed to depict the letters billowed by the wind. It was a great reminder to relish the freedom I enjoy without second thoughts. I hugged my veteran husband tight and we left walking hand in hand. I love visiting Norfolk for this very reason -- I always feel thankful for our veterans' sacrifices and the freedom I enjoy.

    This place pulls at the heart strings hard! I didn't think it would hit me like it did until I…read morenoticed the pieces of metal that were laying around with war stories on them. My father was in the Vietnam War and never told me stores of it because he can't handle reliving those nightmares to this day. The pages on the ground are letters from our warriors that more than likely never had the chance to make it back home to their families and loved ones. Walking up on the site you may not notice this at first glance. From the muddy boots that sacrificed everything, these stories brought a tear to my eye and put me in stitches. I can't imagine what it would be like to live through that war or experience it in general. Writings of blood shed and lost friends riddle the ground on this monument and deserve your eyes but beware that it'll pierce you straight to your heart like a flaming sword. So if you have some time in your day to stop and pay your respects, please do. Read some stories and reflect on the freedom most take for granted these days. And please pray that we never go to war in that fashion ever again. RIP war heroes

    The Midtown Tunnel is an extremely convenient way to get to get to the Monitor Merrimac Bridge…read moreTunnel should there be a backup or accident at the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Because of major construction at the HRBT, there may congestion & lane movement confusion for years. It also leads to a route to Portsmouth, Western Branch and the northern areas of Suffolk. One enters the tunnel from Brambleton Avenue, just beyond the Sentara Norfolk General campus. Exiting the tunnel one can choose access to the Western Freeway (SR-164) to reach the western side of the Metro. I call SR-164 the "secret road" since I've never encountered traffic congestion. The Midtown Tunnel does have a toll. A previous Commonwealth administration subcontracted the addition of another tube, allowing 2 lanes of traffic in each direction. The Elizabeth River Tunnel Commission completed the project in 2016 and is reimbursed by being allowed to collect the tolls. The contract allows the tolls to be raised each year. This has created a financial hardship for residents of Portsmouth who have to navigate through either the Midtown or Downtown Tunnels to work. There is no toll plaza. The congestion at this busy crossing would be prohibitive had a Toll Plaza been constructed. If one doesn't have an EZ-Pass transponder, the owner of the vehicle is mailed a bill with a surcharge. The tunnel itself is bright, clean & well lit. One feels quite safe driving the speed limit on the wide lanes of the tunnel. Hurricane Isabel flooded the Midtown Tunnel with 44 million gallons of water in 2003. The floodgates were overwhelmed by the surge. The tunnel was closed for a month for draining & repairs. Elizabeth River Crossing made a number of changes & improvements to hopefully prevent that disaster from ever occurring again. The Midtown Tunnel offers a huge benefit by providing one an alternative route over the waters of Hampton Roads to the Peninsula and beyond.

    This was an interesting tunnel to go through. The way it descends and ascends makes you really feel…read morelike you are truly in a tunnel. The one thing that sets it apart from other tunnels I have been through is that people actually maintain the speed limit through the tunnel. Or at least for me when I went through it they did. No slowing down because someone cannot understand the concept of driving. I don't remember much else for this tunnel, just that I was kind of forced to go through it when utilizing the GPS. Did it really save me time going through it, no. Maybe a minute at most.
