VA Heights Redux

Occasionally when my buddy Pat Greene and I talk we’ll discuss filming a little movie about VA Heights, a neighborhood in Orlando, Florida where we were neighbors. Recently we spoke about the film idea and later that day I stumbled upon some notes I’d taken when I lived in Virginia Heights. Here are a few of them and some images:

On the wings of a golden egret
And a chariot full of friendliness”

Here is a set of photos I took in the old Smartwear Irving Saks place at Crossroads Mall in Roanoke, VA.  It would appear that little has changed inside the shop since the mid 80s.
