Iceland Virginia Beach
著者: 山崎 陸
Why is this place even here? In 1957, a developer named Robert W. Fentress had a wild idea. He wanted to sell houses with a theme: the land of fire and ice.
He didn’t just name streets. He imported black sand from Iceland. Real black sand. He dumped it right on the Atlantic shore.
It didn’t stick. The ocean washed it away. But the commitment to the bit is legendary.
Everyday Life, Icelandic Style
Imagine your mailman delivering to Geyser Place. Or your Uber driver picking you up on Reykjavik Lane. It’s surreal and delightful.
The houses are charming mid-century ranches. But the street signs scream “Viking heritage.” It’s a suburban paradox.
Kids here grow up thinking “Langjökull” is a normal address. They have no idea their playground is named after a giant ice cap.
