You wouldn't recognize Ocean View now. East Ocean View is now "East Beach" and full of McMansions. Alot of the apartments and motels are gone and have been replaced with more upscale housing. Amusement park is long gone, and Harrison's Pier blew down in Hurricane Isabelle. It's since been replaced by a much sturdier pier with a restaurant.

Yea the amusement park was tore down while I was on my first MED in 77 I think. When I went back in 2002 I think it was I got off the first exit on your end and drove down to Virginia Beach that way. From the picture I took the apartments I lived in 1979-80 are now called Sunrise on the Bay. They were nice apartments then going for $220 a month me and a Bosun friend split the rent :>}

I managed a drive from NOB main gate all the way around the block so to speak. Up Princess Anne the to the left {can't remember the name of that road}, over to Military Hi-way, and then back down Little Creek BLVD to Oceanview. Not bad navigating for not being there for over 20 years and going by memory.

But the look on my wifes face going into and out of the Hampton Tunnel was priceless LOL. Especially when I told her what we were actually doing.
