This is a picture looking down Ingleside Road towards Sewells Point Road with the Stores on your left.  I remember the shopping center with a post office, Colonial Store, Peoples Drug Store, and Bill's Barber Shop.  There was a covered bus stop on the corner in front of the shopping center where we caught the bus to downtown Norfolk.  I lived in the corner house that you see above the white truck in the picture.  My dad repaired television sets and there was a neon sign in the window that said "Norfolk County Sales and Service TV repair".

3705 Parkland Road. It was the last house before the first circle, past West Highland, going East on Parkland Road from Ingleside road. Bobby Kowalski lived behind me, so did Malcolm & Betty Paul, Joe Carroll and Clara, Tainy & Pasty Hassle. I went to Broad Creek Elementary school and I believe I have a picture of our Boy Scout troop from Broad Creek. I also went to school with Jimmy Sizemore. I remember when he was killed. David and Brenda Webster lived on Kingwood road as well as Mickey Ferris and Billy Joe Radford. David, Billy Joe, Bobby & Mickey were in our scout troop. There was a girl that lived on the corner of West Highland & Parkland named Dottie Ann Smith, who's is now married to a police chief in Palm Beach, FL. Her email address is DBrads1114@aol.com. I'll look around and see what pictures I can come up with. It was a very pleasant surprise to find this website and relive many great memories. I won my first Yo-Yo contest at the Peoples Drug store. I used to take out their trash for a cherry coke. Always got my haircut at Bill's & my and my Grandmother caught the bus to downtown Norfolk many times at that bus stop. I, like you, had no idea we were poor until my Mom remarried and we moved to Estabrook and I went to Norview. Thanks for putting up the site. My Mom was Estelle Dalton & my Grandmother, who lived with us, was Lilly Mae Faulk.

Eddie Dalton Norview Class of "59"

1221 Big Been Road (a court) also behind Bobby Kowalski, somewhat. I remember some of the folks mentioned in the letter, along with these others: Ray Powell, Stuart Bryant, Poochie Lipscomb, David Falkner, Everret McGraph, Roger Nelson, Billy Joe Radford, Charles Wood and sister Nancy Wood, kathleen Rooks, Carolyn Hollenbeck, Donnie Pope, Rodney Terry, Dieter Krause and a lot of others that I can't recall their names. I, like many others, moved into Broad Creek at about three years of age, my father being employeed at Norfolk Naval Air Station. Yes, we didn't have any idea we were poor, had everything we needed, mainly good friends that shared many days and evenings with sports and general mischief. I was also in BSA Troop 22, meeting in the Civic Building, in Foxhall. I believe the scoutmaster was a fella named Newton? My close friends in the troop were David Faulkner (an Eagle Scout) and Billy Joe Radford. Now , Billy Joe Radford and I had some great experiences in the scouts and at Broad Creek Jr. High. Hated to see him end up at Granby , but that's where his parents moved after leaving the village. My mom (Evelyn Hardison who did a lot of substitute teaching at Broad Creek Elementary) and I practically had to be kicked out of the village, she being determined to stay as long as she could. That was a day to remember. Would love to hear from any of you former villagers.

3715 Sewells Point road, later it became Village Ave. Orion, SR. and Stella Waterfield. Sons: Orion, Jr., Charles Daughter: Sue. Then we moved to 1305 Big Bend RD. I was a paper boy in the Big Bend area. I was in Boy Scout Troop 22, which was sponsored by the Fox Hall Lions Club, it later became Troop 199, sponsored by the Norfolk Police. Mr. Guy Newcomb was the Scoutmaster. Mr. Matthews, Mr. Cope, Mr. Kawalski, Mr. Templeton, Mr. McGallister were also scout leaders. I went to Norview High School in 1957-58 which was in Norfolk County. A lot of families from BCV moved to Lynnwood Shores which was also in Norfolk County. We all went to Great Bridge High School, and made Great Bridge a powerhouse in sports. Thanks, Orion Waterfield

I have enjoyed looking and your info about Broad Creek Village. I lived there from 1943 (I was 6 months old) until about 1950. We lived at 4721 Meadow Road. Johnson, Earl, Catherine, Thomas, Patsy Thank you, Pat Watson

1216 E. Woodlawn Ave. It's been a long time. Great site on our old neighborhood. Hope all is well with you and family. Enjoyed reading all the info about BCV. Mae Faulk mentioned she remembered when Jimmy Sizemore was killed. I wasn't aware of that and was wondering how it happened. He and I did a lot together as he was the "Eddie Haskell" of our area. We were always doing stuff (his ideas) that would get us into trouble. Bo, Marvin, Brenda, and I lived at 1216 E. Woodlawn in a duplex next to the Myers family. Henry, Tookie, little Shirley, father Gage T. Myers and mother 'big' Shirley. We lived there from 1945 until 1958 when it was torn down. Moved to Lynnwood Shores along with many others including Jimmy Sizemore. I ran with Jimmy Horton. They lived just down from the McDonald family. Jimmy had one sister, Lorraine. He was killed in a tractor accident many years ago. Not sure if their parents are still alive. There was Forrest Morefield who lived on the corner of Sewell's Point and West Woodlawn. His father was in construction work. In our court was Freddie Bratten and his younger brother and their dog Joker (black cocker spaniel) Their mother was from England. They had a big fight over letting all the neighborhood kids in to watch their new fangled TV. The father worked for the Phone Company. Anyway, they eventually left and the rumor was they returned to England so we never saw them again. We had to quickly locate another family that owned as TV. Charles Waterfield was one of my school buddies. Ann Beach lived behind us not too far from the McDonalds. Dr. Horton had an office on the corner next to the Beach family. Remember he smoked big cigars all the time. Our house is directly behind and to the right in the picture of Jessie Dennison. Oil heater located in the living room kept us warm. If you really wanted to be warm you would sit on it. Only remember one bad house fire while we lived there. Amazing more didn't but down. I now live in N.Virginia. There were a couple of BCV houses that ended up in Fairfax County. Not sure if they're still there. I believe they were sold for 600.00 back in 58 to anyone who would remove them. Glenn Miller
1444 South Highland Ave, This is great! My family moved to BCV in about 1945 and left in the early 50's, maybe '54. We lived at 1444 South Highland Ave. The family name was H.E. Edwards. There were 5 children and we all fit snugly into 3 small bedrooms, and I do mean snugly! Patsy Edwards Blanchard
