I was actually considering to come out and look at either Norfolk or VA Beach sometime to consider a future move when I want to settle down. Seems like a nice place for a family, but it might be more trouble than its worth. I'd be commuting 3 1/2 hours to work into DC. Of course being a DC fireman I work once every four days and would be making the commute outside of rush hour since I start at 7am and arrive at about 430/5am. Then I'm off at 7am the next morning. Either way, I definitely want to check it out since I'm not that far.
Also, I was interested in the area before, but your row home pictures kind of put me over the top. I love row homes and the ones in your pictures are beautiful.
Like one says "the USS monitor crossed this point 300 years ago heading for the chesapeake bay where it was eventually in the infamous monitor-merrimak battle." IDK i just think that's cool.
Cool indeed! It's a sign from 150 years in the future!!!
Norfolk isn't bad. I can think of way worse cities in the US. Regardless, I don't think Norfolk is too bad. Definitely not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
