How can I find out the time of my birth?

My birth certificate is a copy, not an original; so the time's not on there. The hospital I was born in is no longer there, and my mom can't remember. Any suggestions BESIDES these? Public city records, maybe? If it matters, I was born in Norfolk, VA in 1980. I doubt it was announced in a newspaper or anything.

Update:

...Well, if you'd look at the board I posted this on, you'd see why I want to know.

    Don't fret about it too much. The countries of the British Commonwealth (Canada, India, etc.) are not required to record time of birth, just date. Except in the case of twins, for inheritance reasons. Is it that big of a deal? Life goes on.

    Well, Hospital Records might still be somewhere

    Call the City Hall and ask where the Hospital records would be kept

    Ask them also your time of birth on your Birth certificate

    They might have it

    Some put it on the certificate

    Some didn't

    Your birth records may have been transferred to a nearby hospital when the one you were born in shut down. You could start there maybe.
