NORFOLK VA tour
Last weekend I took some time away from the city and went down to south and took my VA tour. It was great to get up with friends and family and take in some good ole southern hospitality. Eventhough I was lounging around internet free I made sure that I visited a couple of noteworth boutiques. On my travels I hit up Commonwealth, Solebrother's, Cream and Frivolous Goods. All in all I must say that VA is putting it on the map for more then just a mecca for musical talent and tabacco. The kids down ther are proving that their syle and purchasing power extends past Anywhere,USA.
First stop was Commonwealth, happened to catch them during their sale. They have just recently relocated a couple of stores down form the old location (bigger and better). For those that don't know and have been here yet just go look for the purple sign that they prop up outside during normal business hours. They are located at 717 w. 31Street.
Purple sign lets you know that the register is ready to ring you up!
The sale was on and popping!!!!
We then wne to the opposite side of the block from Commonwealth and went to Sole Brothers located at 772 West 20th Street, Norfolk. This place is the epitome of a coolskate shop with a true streetwear edge.
Shots from inside the shop.... good2go!
If you are tring to find Cream you better know the address because this spot is very low key, so you better know the address (here ya' go,.... 801 Boush St. Norfolk). It is very much worth visiting it.
I pulled up to the Cream's parking lot and pulled up to a personalized parking spot.
Inside of cream,....
Out the door.... of to the next spot!!!
I followed Joe of Cream to his latest venture,... Frivolous Goods located at 507 Botetourt Street, Norfolk. This spot is a soon to be diamond in the rough. The direction is different from your average streetwear stores by branding themselves with there own luggage, wallets, watches and outerwear.
My trip down 2 VA was well worth it. More to come....
