BIG CITY PLANNERS MEET AT MAMA POSSUM’S ON 41! Last week, six city-planning officials, representing Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Newport News, and Hampton, Virginia met at Mama Possum’s in Mt Hermon for lunch. Seen in this photo with Mama Possum‘s owner Dr. Valerie Hoffman. The group was attending a three-day regional planning seminar at Caesars Virginia, hosted by the American Planning Association. Maybe they’re looking to add a little rural charm to those big cities, lol.

Serving famous Hot Dogs topped with homemade chili and slaw. Voted best Cheeseburger in Danville.
Best Milkshakes in town!
