East Main Street Taverns Reign Ends in Norfolk Redevelopment
In Norfolk the Krazy Kat tavern’s demolition marks another step in downtown redevelopment. The East Main Street strip known for neon and juke boxes will be replaced by a pedestrian mall and a cluster of business buildings, ending a era that drew sailors and locals to a rowdy entertainment district. Tavern owners seek relocation options amid vast redevelopment plans while the area shifts toward a quieter commercial mood.
