LOOK AHEAD, BEACH

I am grateful to editorial writer Kerry Dougherty for ``Virginia Beach needs a new vision'' (Perspectives, April 13).

Many of us agree that ``one discount superstore after another'' does not edify or beautify our people and our landscape.

Our City Council needs, as Ms. Dougherty suggests, to avail itself of the present opportunity. It must ``look ahead and come up with a vision of what Virginia Beach can become in the next century.''
