Review of condos richmond va::How long does it take mail to travel from duck, nc to ...








The               sight               of               the               rubble               on               31st               &               Pacific               at               Virginia               Beach's               oceanfront               might               as               well               be               one               of               a               funeral               for               locals               and               returning               visitors               alike.

The               Jewish               Mother,               a               restaurant               that               was               one               of               the               last               vestiges               of               the               local               kitsch               that               once               punctuated               every               corner               of               the               resort               town,               is               coming               down.

Looking               through               the               painted               windows               you               can               see               through               the               empty               cavity               of               what               was               once               a               beloved               spot.

This               building               is               filled               with               memories               for               everyone               who               graced               its               doorsteps.

The               Jewish               Mother               restaurant               was               founded               in               1974               by               three               friends,               recognizing               the               need               for               a               New               York-style               deli               at               the               Beach.

The               restaurant               also               doubled               as               a               concert               venue.

Named               after               a               reference               to               one               of               the               original               owner's               mother               (who               helped               plan               the               menu),               customers               were               treated               to               delicious               though               oddly               named               sandwiches               (my               personal               favorite               is               Pita               the               Great),               excellent               desserts,               lox               and               all               sorts               of               other               wonderful               food.

Both               inside               and               out,               the               building               was               decorated               with               brightly               colored               graffiti               and               once               you               entered               the               tight               entryway,               you               were               immediately               bombarded               with               wondrous               scents               and               sounds.
               The               restaurant               became               a               very               popular               location               for               both               local               artists               as               well               as               some               more               famous.

Some               of               those               that               played               the               stage               include:               Dave               Matthews,               Michael               Tolcher               (which               was               one               of               my               all-time               favorite               concerts),               Hootie               &               The               Blowfish,               Bruce               Hornsby,               Keller               Williams               and               N.E.R.D.

The               intimate               setting               created               a               laid               back               atmosphere               to               sit               back,               enjoy               the               music               and               have               a               great               time.

Everyone               who               ever               played               the               restaurant               would               leave               some               sort               of               doodle               on               the               walls.
               Because               of               its               popularity,               the               Jewish               Mother               opened               a               second               restaurant               in               Norfolk,               located               on               the               foot               of               the               Colley               Avenue               Bridge.

However,               it               was               closed               in               less               than               a               year               due               to               issues               with               the               restaurant's               liquor               license.

The               restaurant               began               franchising               out,               with               two               locations               in               the               Richmond               area               and               a               third               in               Williamsburg               at               2021               Richmond               Road.

However,               disaster               struck               the               Williamsburg               location               at               about               4:00               AM               on               November               4,               1999               when               the               restaurant               went               up               in               flames.

It               took               nearly               two               hours               for               the               fire               department               to               get               the               blaze               under               control.

The               roof               collapsed               into               the               chard               building               and               39               windows               in               the               motel               next               door               were               blown               out.

The               franchise               owners               decided               not               rebuild               and               in               its               place               is               now               a               Hertz               Rent-A-Car.
               Despite               the               shortcomings               of               some               of               the               other               locations,               the               original               oceanfront               location               continued               to               thrive               as               customers,               both               old               and               new,               continued               to               pack               into               the               booths.

Nestled               between               Waffles               '˜n               Things               and               a               dry               cleaner,               The               Jewish               Mother               continued               to               be               a               landmark               as               the               high               rise               hotels,               condos               and               tacky               souvenir               stores               were               built               up               around               it.

But               like               almost               every               other               beloved               piece               of               local               kitsch,               the               City               council               declared               eminent               domain               over               the               land               in               which               The               Jewish               Mother               sat,               selling               it               off               to               developer               Gold               Key/PHR               Hotels               &               Resorts               to               redevelop               into               condos               and               stores.

The               news               sent               shockwaves               throughout               Hampton               Roads               and               people               desperately               tried               to               protest               the               city               government.

As               owner               Scotty               Miller               said,               "[To]               ram               rod               this               project               [the               sale               and               redevelopment]               --               is               a               little               premature."               However,               he               does               admit               that               it               was               a               good               time               to               relocate               due               to               the               continuing               deterioration               of               the               building.
               Unable               to               secure               another               location               at               the               oceanfront,               plans               were               made               to               erect               a               new               building               in               the               Hilltop               section               of               Virginia               Beach.

In               the               mean               time,               The               Jewish               Mother               purchased               the               popular               Backstage               Café,               located               at               the               rear               entrance               of               the               Norva               Theater               on               Granby               Street               in               Norfolk.

Scotty               Miller               hired               a               new               chef               and               tweeked               the               menu               to               treat               patrons               at               the               new               Jewish               Mother.
               Shortly               after               brunch               on               October               15,               2010,               the               original               Jewish               Mother               closed               its               doors               and               vacated               the               premises.

"You               can't               take               the               feel               of               this               place               to               a               new               location.

The               history               is               here               '"               people               grew               up               here,"               Scotty               Miller               told               The               Virginian-Pilot.

The               new               location               at               600               Nevan               Road               will               celebrate               its               grand               opening               on               April               14,               2011.

However,               it               won't               be               the               same               as               the               previous               restaurant.

The               original               building               became               more               than               a               restaurant               and               concert               venue               to               many               '"               it               became               a               home.
               Like               many               local               memories               we've               watched               torn               down               including               The               Duck               Inn,               The               Dome               and               Seaside               Park,               the               original               Jewish               Mother               will               go               down               in               pictures               of               local               history               books               and               remain               on               the               minds               and               on               the               tongues               of               story               tellers               who               once               enjoyed               the               music,               food,               atmosphere               and               the               people               that               would               pack               into               that               kitschy               old               building.
