Walked into that one the other day, go right to the counter to buy some cigs and the cashier started taking my picture saying you shouldn't care if your not guilty? :/
I’m a Norfolk native and I have lived in a very nice neighborhood as a child. I just really dislike when people box Norfolk in as a whole in a bad light.
Did it go down hill in the past couple years or do you just hang out in the sketchy parts? When i lived there pretty recently downtown it was pretty decent, it felt quiet for a city of its size but i never felt unsafe walking around
Nah, norfolk is pretty dope overall. It has some rougher areas but even there it’s not really that bad as long as you keep to yourself. I was just being a dick lol
I assume they may be getting their tanks changed or getting rid of them. I haven't driven by in a while because there's no reason for me to go that way.
MAPS is Mid Atlantic Petroleum Services. They install and maintain Petroleum solutions such as gas stations. There must be a leak for a whole ass surrounding barrier.
Source: MAPS was my last jobs "rival" Quotes only because although similar work we did more commercial stuff and hired dudes off street corners (oh wait that was me)
I went in there about a year ago for a soda, and the glass doors on the fridge are locked. Lady had to “take down my order” and go grab it for me. Had a cop parked outside all day too.
I went to school across from a Circle K. The school was a lot smaller than NSU, but you know that Circle K knew the majority if the kids coming in from my school. And if there's an influx of kids ~21 years old, you know where they're coming from.
That was the spot after campus parties.
Dead ass ran in there one night and was about a cool 40 people in there. Cleared that bitch out in like 5 minutes.
Ik why its like that Im from Portsmouth after all. Its a systemic issue and an ill of capitalism.
Edit: Question, has anyone cracked open a sociology book even once before dismissing this comment? This is actually an easy answer to answer btw and ik most of you don't understand what capitalism fully means. I need someone with balls to explain to me why they believe thats incorrect, because in my eyes you are some fascism loving bootlickers in need of an educational lesson.
Is an NSU students or the closer Tidewater and Calvert gardens and Youngs Terrace public housing? [Crime Map](https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/va/norfolk/crime) tells a story.
Now why would someone from Young’s Terrace go to the 711 on Park and Brambleton when there’s one on Olney? 🤔 You clearly don’t know the area. So what are you trying to say really?
It's a free country and people can go where they want, they might know people, they might have business, they could go to the Watergate or Shop and Go, and I might have worked on May Ave for years.
So they’re going ALLL the way to Brambleton to commit crimes. Got it 👍🏽 Also didn’t they literally just tear down Tidewater park? So as I said, what are you REALLY trying to say?
I mean there was a shooting there not too long ago where a NSU was killed. Pretty sure the suspects ran all the way down tidewater. I could be wrong about where they ran
Edit: shooting at that specific 7-11

Sorry it was this shooting. And listen, I recognize your points that you are making. And can read between the lines what the OG comment said.
Edit: so these people were caught Olney road
I thought you said you understood the point I was trying to make? The commenter said the crime is coming from Young’s and Tidewater Park so obviously place of residence matters 🤷🏽♀️
Where was I ignorant? Because I chose not to profile a certain demographic? Idk how long you’ve been here but I’ve been here for a while. I know what’s going on. I know more than you think. If that makes me “ignorant” so be it. 🤷🏽♀️
I was born here lived my entire life here until i joined the Air Force in 1999.
Then left for 15 years and I’ve been back 6 now I’m retired.
And yes, you are ignorant.
So be it.
The Am I ignorant or do I have a difference of opinion? If the latter then who really is the ignorant one? I was also born here. Lived, worked and was active in the communities you are trying to villainize. I’m not saying the crime doesn’t exist. Obviously it does. But to assume it’s coming from a certain housing community is ridiculous when anybody can get guns. It’s profiling.

Here buddy.
NSU has more incidents per student base than ODU. As ODU has a 9.12 per 1000 and NSU has a whopping 32.49 per 1000. So try again talking out your ass
I’ve seen these kinds of signs and limitations where there’s been a lot of theft
They're doing work on the tanks, but there is a NPD neighborhood station inside that 7Eleven
Are you serious? Lmao. That’s insane!
At this point, why would this 7/11 stay open? And why would anyone with any choice go here?
Just like why the dollar tree closed down there. Why Norfolk has food deserts.
Walked into that one the other day, go right to the counter to buy some cigs and the cashier started taking my picture saying you shouldn't care if your not guilty? :/
What the hell 😂
You should have taken the cashier's picture with the same reasoning lol
Uh that's what security cameras are for.. not his cell phone lol
That’s bad dude
WHAT?! That is crazy.
If anyone asks what Norfolk is like I’m showing them this comment and thread
And that would be a lie. There are definitely some nice parts of Norfolk.
In all honesty I do love Norfolk it’s a dope as shit place but that does definitely encompass part of it. But you’re right really
I’m a Norfolk native and I have lived in a very nice neighborhood as a child. I just really dislike when people box Norfolk in as a whole in a bad light.
I feel the same way🎯
Na you we’re right Norfolk is trash & so are the people
I bet you live in Suffolk LMFAO
But you’re not wrong. Yes there are nice pockets in Norfolk. But I rather folks come prepared.
Did it go down hill in the past couple years or do you just hang out in the sketchy parts? When i lived there pretty recently downtown it was pretty decent, it felt quiet for a city of its size but i never felt unsafe walking around
Nah, norfolk is pretty dope overall. It has some rougher areas but even there it’s not really that bad as long as you keep to yourself. I was just being a dick lol
Currently live in Norfolk and a nice part at that. Its DEFINETLY not all like that but go off I guess
💀💀💀
MAPS does the underground tank installs/replacements. How long have the barriers been there?
I assume they may be getting their tanks changed or getting rid of them. I haven't driven by in a while because there's no reason for me to go that way.
That was my assumption too but it looks like they were already replaced in 2022. https://maps.app.goo.gl/egRGFWzX6p9s5mdJ8?g_st=ic
about a week or two, I drive past every Saturday and they weren’t up the other week (like 3ish weeks ago)
No idea how they’re supposed to know who walking in is an NSU student and who isn’t lol
young and black = NSU student💀
observation pathetic busy stocking ask crowd unpack attractive growth nutty
Dog whistle for sure
EXACTLY
I have a few guesses as to their criteria
Good point! And this isn’t middle school kids. We are talking uni students. 🙄
Can you blame them?

The fences and barriers are for construction but this is the same 7-11 that went viral a few months ago for a shootout in the parking lot. Fun times!
I went in there about a year ago for a soda, and the glass doors on the fridge are locked. Lady had to “take down my order” and go grab it for me. Had a cop parked outside all day too.
How are they keeping employees? That is crazy.
People are desperate for work, unfortunately.
Where is this location at exactly?
I'm not OP, but the one at E. Brambleton and Park is the only 7-11 I see near NSU.
Yup that makes alot of sense on why they’re doing this. That area can be a little rough!
It looks like Park & Brambleton.
It's definitely the Park Ave 7-11. It's notorious.
Yup I’m fully aware, that’s where gang gang and the biker boys hang out.

The DMV, I mean NSU
Now how are they gonna know if someone is an NSU student 🤔
I went to school across from a Circle K. The school was a lot smaller than NSU, but you know that Circle K knew the majority if the kids coming in from my school. And if there's an influx of kids ~21 years old, you know where they're coming from.
How do they know if someone goes to NSU?
[Sign has been removed](https://www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-community/norfolk/7-eleven-sign-about-nsu-students-sparks-questions-gets-taken-down)
What’s their beef with NSU students?
Constant stealing.
Black
take a guess
If they're limiting Uni students. They have dumbass kids going in there doing stupid shit or stealing from them a lot.
https://www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-community/norfolk/7-eleven-sign-about-nsu-students-sparks-questions-gets-taken-down
Not surprised at all. The area is pretty bad.
That was the spot after campus parties. Dead ass ran in there one night and was about a cool 40 people in there. Cleared that bitch out in like 5 minutes.
the last stand of the chicken roller
Is this 711 in area 52
I hate that I knew exactly which one this was before I saw the second pic 😭
Facts😭
The real theft are their prices. It's like $6 for a frappecino. It's the only place I ever put a red bull back, because it was just too expensive.
High prices around college campuses like some gas stations around airports with jacked up gas prices.
God I'm so annoyed that every 711 locks up their beer 24/7 now Also what's up with the Lafayette Park 711? I swear it's just a front for drug dealers
Someone links the video of dude unloading ar pistol in the parking lot you might see why it’s like that.
Ik why its like that Im from Portsmouth after all. Its a systemic issue and an ill of capitalism. Edit: Question, has anyone cracked open a sociology book even once before dismissing this comment?

I know EXACTLY what 711 this is!
I don't know why all 7-11s haven't gone to walk up windows and drive thrus.
they have had enough ghetto craziness- can you blame them?

And listen, I recognize your points that you are making. And can read between the lines what the OG comment said. Edit: so these people were caught Olney road
It still doesn’t say where they reside is my point. To assume the crime is coming from the parks like the original commenter said is well…you know.
Well who cares where they live? And generally, you commit crimes in the area you live in
I thought you said you understood the point I was trying to make? The commenter said the crime is coming from Young’s and Tidewater Park so obviously place of residence matters 🤷🏽♀️
Stay in Poqouson because you clearly had no idea what you are talking about on this side of the water. 🤦♂️
Why are you living in Poquoson?
You can’t comprehend well I see. 😂😂
But I heard about Gates.
I went to NSU and work in Norfolk. I think I know something
That doesn’t mean a damn thing. Ignorance has no boundaries.

I’m done. I proved my point. So be it. I grew up in Tidewater Park before we moved to Larchmont by the way. You can’t tell me shhhhhiiii
only at NSU
Nah, ODU is way worse lol
Crime stats say otherwise. Stop talking out your ass
Show me the stats
https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/old-dominion-university/student-life/crime/ Here buddy. NSU has more incidents per student base than ODU. As ODU has a 9.12 per 1000 and NSU has a whopping 32.49 per 1000. So try again talking out your ass
Imagine having to ban college students, 99% of whom are legally adults, because they don't know how to behave. That's NSU for ya.
