NEEDLE NEEDED

Wake up, Norfolk! You don't need another shopping mall. You have a beautiful harbor and coastal region envied by many. Instead of the new mall, give your people an attraction that will draw them downtown. Build a space needle with an observation deck and revolving restaurant. I, for one, will be in line weekly to enjoy the view and savor the good food.
