    1. [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Hopewell History
    2. Found a really great picture from when my huband's grandfather worked at DuPont in Hopewell Va before WWI started and the word DANNER is written across the bottom as well as DEATH VALLEY. Granted, it is a rather dismal "back alley" looking scene of rough wood buildings, one bearing a sign advertising a "Roadhouse-meals all hours" I'm just not sure if DEATH VALLEY was a caption his grandparents came up with or if the area was really referred to this way. Anyone ever heard of this area or know if there is a Danner St/Ave/Blvd etc in Hopewell today? I'd appreciate any help.... Donna Rochelle Kennedy
