Description
Virginia Beach | The stretch of Atlantic Avenue between 21st and 22nd streets is a place locals call "The Block." [paragraph] By day, it looks fairly benign, with the stuff you'd expect to see on a commercial strip of beach in the summertime. High-rise hotels. Restaurants. Young people riding beach cruisers. Babies in strollers, kids eating ice cream, shops overflowing with goofy tchotchkes. [paragraph] But as darkness rolls in, all of that gives way to a nightly bar scene the city hasn't been able to shake despite 20 years of determination to dedicate the Oceanfront to family fun. [paragraph] One recent Friday, we headed down to watch and photograph the transformation. 3:40 p.m. | The sun is bright and hot, and Atlantic Avenue is filled with stroller-pushing parents wearing corny T-shirts and sun visors. Jazz wails out of speakers affixed to a light post.
