American Adventures

CHAPTER XXIV
1/12


NORFOLK AND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD Just as New York looks newer than Boston, but is actually older, Norfolk looks newer than Richmond.

Business and population grow in Richmond, but you do not feel them growing as you do in Norfolk.

You feel that Richmond business men already have money, whereas in Norfolk there is less old wealth and a great deal more scrambling for new dollars.

Also you feel that law and order count for more in Richmond than in Norfolk, and that the strict prohibition law which not long ago became effective in Virginia will be more easily enforced in the capital than in the seaport.

Norfolk, in short, likes the things New York likes.
