What can anyone add to this?
As a sometime viewer of WHRO and other OTA channels in the Hampton Roads area, I can only say, Portsmouth is the dominant locale for about half the seedy local TV stories; but far from half of the local population.
Gee, who knew that addiction was becoming so prevalent? (Uh, everyone.)
I used to cover police there for the Pilot many years ago. It was a great crime venue. They busted the vice and narc squad for selling intell.
