Irma’s Favorite School

While I was living in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area I remember the old burlesque house shown in the photo on pages 52-53. The bluenoses finally won around 1960. But parts of the building still live. The reclaimed brick was better than new and much sought after for local building. The house next door to ours was built of it, and our neighbors swore that in the still of a summer night they could hear ghostly laughter and applause.
