Majestic, magical site. I portray...Royal greetings! <BR/><BR/>Majestic, magical site. <BR/><BR/>I portray Princess Elizabeth, daughter to King James for whom the Elizabeth River was named in the early 1600's by Capt. John Smith. The river runs through the four cities of Portsmouth, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach of the royal state of Virginia. I am the river's key spokesperson and educator. <BR/><BR/>The Captain, sailed down from Jamestown, Virginia noting,"the pines are tall, wetlands are lush and the wildlife spectacular" and the Elizabeth won his heart. Unfortunately, she is noted as the most polluted river on the Bay today although her surface sparkles like diamonds on a princess's tiara. <BR/><BR/>The river is highly degraded and has toxic hot spots of heavy metals etc. that have settled to the bottom, while other areas are healthy and very much alive with dolphin, fish, crabs and oysters that have adapted to her current state. With most of the toxins at the bottom, we have a fun slogan about the river. "Help clean Elizabeth River's bottom, the GOO MUST GO!" <BR/><BR/>I discovered your site while doing a bit of research and thought I would send you a royal quick thought about my royal home river.<BR/><BR/><B>There is a river<BR/>Royal and regal is she<BR/>In search of a knight<BR/>To slay the toxic dragon <BR/>at her golden feet. </B><BR/><BR/>Princess Elizabeth<BR/>princesselizabeth1619@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
