The restaurants and neighborhoods have changed through the years, but bridge tunnel is a constant. It’s beautiful, but it’s not the beach that always holds a special place in my life. We live in Central Virginia now near a lake. But like in real life, not everything is as it first seems. The notoriety from the media exposure does wonders for the bar’s bottom line. My parents’ first apartment when they were newlyweds was nearby, and my dad patrolled the bridge’s construction site as a young police recruit.Īnd it was the perfect setting for “Washed up.” The title takes on several meanings in this mystery, but the obvious is when a suitcase with a shriveled hand and a rusty gun wash up on the beach outside a struggling bar.
Chesapeake bay bridge 2021 series#
The bridge is really a series of bridges and tunnels that cross the Chesapeake Bay and spans about 23 miles. I was always fascinated with the bridge and what was on the other side of the bay. It’s a quiet neighborhood on the bay near the bridge. As locals, this is where we went to avoid the hoards of tourists that descended on our city every summer. I grew up there, and it was always Chic’s Beach, though over the years, I’ve seen the spelling vary from Chick’s to Chix. This was my first published short story, and I chose the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel that runs from Chic’s Beach (Virginia Beach) to Cape Henry on the Eastern Shore.
When we launched the Virginia is for Mysteries anthology, one of the requirements was that the stories needed to have a Virginia landmark.
