Shipyard Apartments

Washington Avenue, Newport News, VA

WAY BACK THEN:	THEN:	NOW:
1919	1948
("A Look Back," Daily Press)	Background:  The photo was taken in a beer garden (a very 50s term) named Holloway's in the basement level of one of the old Shipyard Apartments (all have been razed).  My dad would take me along to shill for free beers:  "Ohhhhh, Art, your boy is so cute. Have one on the house."  Notwithstanding the implications of such a photo for my academic future ...  and just for the record ...  I graduated from NNHS 35th out of 299 (Honor Graduate) with a hair better than a B average. I can't say much for those M.C. Hammer pants I am wearing, but how about those nifty Jesus Weejuns I am sporting?
