On Wednesday, a bus of more than 100 people pulled up to the Norfolk Sheriff’s Office Senior Fest at the Chartway Arena, with some coming from these neighborhoods.

NORFOLK, Va. — If you live in neighborhoods like Huntersville, Franklin Arms or Calvert’s Square, running basic every day errands can be a real challenge, with the closest grocery store in some of these communities sitting multiple miles away. This is even more of an issue for seniors and for residents who can’t drive. Luckily, the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority is stepping in to help.

    This is uplifting. I’m glad such a program exists.

    But I have to admit that I first wondered what drag racing (NHRA) had to do with getting folks to food. Maybe they are wanting to get them there really quickly, but only if it’s a quarter mile away?

    I know it’s the NRHA, I was just momentarily amused by my misread.
