Do you have suggestions for how SurveyNFK can improve its reach?
Unfortunately I can’t edit the part out do I ration in my statement so please disregard that part. I ment to say the movie that was made in 4K of the Chesapeake Bay from Maryland to about Norfolk area, aerial views also. Thank you! :)! A lot of Ocean View”s history is unfortunately disappearing. Just like the movie do I ration of the Chesapeake Bay sometime last year or the year before, Ocean View needs such documentation and more before it’s too late if not already. And part of our history is not just military but , we aren’t to far from Wallops Island and NASA. I believe OV”s past and present are and will always be a huge part of everyone’s future, not just Norfolk, but everywhere. Ocean View has a beautiful beach also come sunrise to sunset!
