One of the oldest lesbian bars on the East Coast is to be demolished. The city wants to put in a dog park.

Two days before learning what would become of Norfolk’s embattled lesbian bar, a group of students and activists toured the city’s LGBTQ history.
It was filled with graveyards — a hotel that used to be a gay bookstore, a parking garage where drag queens used to dance.
When the group stopped at the Hershee Bar — Norfolk’s only dedicated space for bisexual, lesbian and queer-identifying women — the owners were packing up 35 years of history, piling it on tables around the bar.

The last of its kind in Norfolk and one of the oldest lesbian bars on the East Coast, the Hershee Bar was shuttered Oct. 31 to make way for a planned revitalization of the Five Points corridor. Last week, activists who spent months trying to persuade Norfolk officials to save the bar learned what would replace it:

A dog park.

Woo gentrification

[Hey I'm Grump!]

Yeah, I mean they should at least be making cat parks so the lesbians still know where to find some pussy

The cigarette in the pic makes it.

Gentrification is evil. Demolishing poor neighborhoods so rich hipsters and investors can buy high-class housing that they probably won't even live in anyway. What happens to the people that live and work there isn't even an afterthought to these people.

At least they know where all the bitches will be at.

[Hoetaku]

how about we assemble an angry mob, tear down the city hall, and replace it with a dog park.
two birds with one stone

The natural order of things shall have its revenge as the park becomes populated exclusively with dog lesbians instead.
