VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Three sites in Virginia have been named to a national group's annual Top 10 Great Places in America list.
The American Planning Association recognized the Historic Hilton Village in Newport News as a Great Neighborhood. The group says the neighborhood hasn't changed much since it was planned and built during World War I.
Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg was recognized as a Great Street. The group says the street is an authentic recreation of the "great street" of Virginia's 18th century capital.
Virginia Beach's Boardwalk was named as a Great Public Space. The group says the 3-mile-long concrete boardwalk is an integral part of the city's economy.
