So, one place I grew up in was Holland, VA, which is just south of Suffolk. When I was ten, I had a sitter who was nineteen and lived in my neighborhood. My little brother was away for a week visiting my grandmother, so it was just her and I. Well, she and her friends all wanted to go see this scary movie called 'The Exorcist' which was playing at the student center at Tidewater Community College-Suffolk. They got me in by clumping around me when they walked past the window waving at their friend who was working the booth. (The students got to see it for free because of some class or other...). Well, let me tell you, that film was (and still is!) completely awesome. I loved it. My parents never found out. (I don't recall if they have ever known about it.) Now, I was a weird kid who loved horror movies, so it gave me nightmares, but I always loved them too, so... not a big thing. (It was not long after this that I discovered one of my great literary loves... Stephen King.)

So, who remembers Nansemond County?

I know a lot of people who went to that elementary underpants May 2021 #1
