This Tiny Fish Can Withstand Almost Anything Carrie Arnold
Originating in the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia, just south of the Chesapeake Bay, the Elizabeth River is turbid and brackish, its banks redolent with the nose-wrinkling stench of rotting vegetation. These muddy, pungent waters support an array of life oak and maple trees, herons, otters, and oysters. But the Elizabeth empties into the massive Norfolk Harbor, making it ideal for shipping and shipbuilding; for decades, local industry spilled thousands of tons of creosote, a wood preservative made from coal tar, into the river.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office appears to be moving its Zone 2 Substation in Arlington from Regency Square Mall to the Merrill Crossing shopping center at northeast Southside Connector and Merrill Road.
The city issued a permit March 4 for Warden Contracting Corp. to build-out 7,000 square feet of space at 9119 Merrill Road, No. 26, at a cost of $121,655.
The site is about 3 miles north of the Regency Square substation at 9501 Arlington Expressway.

A year after R.M. Bealls posted a “closing sale” sign on its door at Southside Commons in the Regency area, the landlord is seeking a zoning exception to see whether it could open an indoor shooting range in the stand-alone building.
There is no lease and no plan to open one, however.
“This is merely an exploratory concept. We are exploring the concept of a use there,” said Michael McNaughton, chief operating officer of landlord Sleiman Enterprises, on March 1.
With the land bought and financing in place, Atlanta developer Shelton McNally Real Estate Partners LLC is preparing to build the 300-unit Novo Kendall Town apartments in the Regency area.
GL National Inc. and Shaner Select Services Hotels VIII LLC sold almost 16.7 acres east of Southside Connector along Kendall Town Boulevard.
Novo Jacksonville Owner LLC paid $4.5 million for the vacant land Dec. 10, financed with a $28.6 million mortgage from Synovus Bank in Columbus, Georgia.
The mortgage was made to Shelton McNally. The deeds are in the address of Pacific Coast Capital Partners of Los Angeles.
Novo paid $3.5 million for about 13 acres from GL National Inc., affiliated with Gate Petroleum Co.
