Yesterday was a great day in Shadowlawn!

A major road project in Virginia Beach is now complete after decades of discussion about connecting the Resort Area and Marina District.

We love seeing the support! Thank you!

The Docktails crew was so excited to be there for the ribbon cutting and the unveiling of the new Shadowlawn sign! 🎉

And finally…Winston Salem Ave is officially OPEN! 🙌 We’re pumped that it’s now easier to get in, get around, and visit all the businesses in the area.

Come see us! 🍹
