Downtown offers so much to that there is never any room for boredom. Among those are three things I can't live without here.

The Tide

The tide, along with other public transportation resources, allow the convenience to get downtown within minutes. It's one of the best things I love about coming downtown. The tide is a light rail system that offers 11 convenient stops, and promises to get you to your destination, not only in style but in great time. I love getting on the tide

Harbor Park

Coming from the Washington DC area, I've been accustomed to going to and rooting for the Washington Nationals Baseball Team in one of the largest baseball stadiums in the world. While no where close to a Major League team, The Norfolk tides;a minor league baseball team, it's a good enough team to sell out seats during most games. On a Sunday afternoon/evening, grab a brew, and some friends and head down to the Harbor Park for what would be one of the most fun and relaxing times you have ever had at a baseball ball game.

MacArthur Center

MacArthur Center was one of the first places I visited when I moved to Norfolk, and needless to say I was immediately taken aback. The size, its beautiful design, and the amount of people that roamed in and out of stores made me realize that Norfolk may be a hidden gem. Its a beautifully designed mall with three floors of amazing stores and shopping to do. The best places for me are the Barnes and nobles bookstore and the Starbucks coffee place that greets you with its amazing smell as soon as you walk in through its main doors.

Next time you are in the Norfolk area, be sure to check these out for yourself!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
