Love Locks Bridge

,

Spanning the shimmering waters of the Hague inlet in the heart of Ghent, the pedestrian footbridge has long been one of Norfolk’s most quietly romantic landmarks. Inspired by the global tradition of love locks — where couples inscribe their names on a padlock, clasp it to the railing, and toss the key into the water below — this unassuming bridge became a canvas for countless love stories, each lock a small monument to a moment two people wanted to last forever. Whether you’re continuing the tradition or simply taking a sunset stroll across the bridge with someone special, there’s something about the way the light hits the Hague at golden hour that makes the whole world feel like it’s rooting for you.

End of Massive Resistance Wall

114 W. Charlotte St., Norfolk, VA 23510

Unveiled in 2023, this 57-foot long and eight-foot high wall is composed of glass and brick. It serves as tribute to the “Norfolk 17,” the group of students who underwent a bitter statewide fight to keep them from desegregating Norfolk’s public schools. Eventually, in 1959, these 17 students succeeded in integrating. The monument is designed by Shane Albritton and Norman Lee and is found in Flatiron Park across from the Scope Arena.
