Awesome! How long you plan on being here?

@@LivingInCoastalVirginia permanently, I’m retired law enforcement from St. Louis and the wife just took a govt. job, buying in Chesapeake

@@LivingInCoastalVirginia We found it, went out there house hunting a few weeks ago and close in a few weeks, thanks 🙏🏿

Congrats and Welcome to the area! Our office is by Elation Brewing if your ever in our neck of the woods!

Glad. you enjoyed it! Any suggestions for future content we should make?

@@LivingInCoastalVirginia Thanks for asking, I would say off the top of my head I would recommend a video about the new casino that's opened up and also on the top five breweries in the area.

Absolutely

Yeah we have since trimmed the fluff on the front lol. Have you seen any of our new stuff?

We think so!

It is.

We still live in Norfolk but not in Ghent, but still love that area

Having lived in larger metropolitan cities these things tend to come with city living..I don't know why people complain about crime living "downtown" or in urban areas it just doesn't make sense.

@@lakieabradley5095 are you from Norfolk or have lived in Norfolk or more specific the downtown area?

@@madchef9201 yes I am from the Norfolk area and I have also lived in other cities and urban areas yes.

@@lakieabradley5095 i don’t know if your comment was in general or directed at my comment but none the less I agree with your statement to an extent…yes there is some form of understanding you should know when moving to or living in any downtown city area (as I lived in many and currently live in downtown Norfolk) for reference I have lived downtown Norfolk for several years and by any stretch of the imagination I don’t think downtown Norfolk is dangerous or a scary place to live but to my comment the point I was making was the notable uptick in violence(several shootings and murders in. 2 month period) the quality of living downtown (filthy dirty streets and the lack of restaurants/late night food/entertainment (closures for multiple reasons that would be to much to list here)etc in connection to the price you pay to live down here..in my opinion is not worth it when you can live a few blocks/ streets over….but I do agree with you completely.me being apart of the local civic league it does confuse me why they get so made about loud noises and music at 10 on a Friday night…you live downtown

Great suggestion! They are definitely vary different!

Flooding Tidewater area do not like & Also near the Hampton Rd tunnels R only 2 Negatives Especially Flooding or getting stuck in the Tunnels THAT'S Very scary & biggest negative Otherwise, I'm Very interested in moving down, But am looking at renting only & Again your videos were Very helpful Thank you 💞 😊

Much appreciated

Why?

So glad we could help!

I believe it is free, but i personally would just have someone drop me off or uber there

I dont want to dog on it too bad, I have friends that play and love going so every now and then Ill tag along..... Just not my favorite for sure.

Lol I played basketball as a kid and started picking flowers before the game started never played baseball again 😂

Yep, sure does! We have some drone footage of them featured in some of our videos!

Didn’t realize you knew everyone here and what they called it. I’ll make sure to consult with you the next time we make a video.

You must be one of those young know it alls..

After living here for nearly 20 years and meeting people from all over the area, I have heard a variety of folks that call it different things and maybe more surprising is the variety of accents...

​@@LivingInCoastalVirginia I've also heard it called Hampton Roads.

@@railroad9929No kidding, Sherlock.

yes

absolutely, link in the description to start!

?

Virginia Tech is about a 5 hour drive

since I’ve been a resident here for over 20 years, I think I will call it whatever I want. The most widely distributed magazine for the area is called coastal Virginia magazine not Hampton Roads magazine . Didn’t realize I needed a run my KZfaq name through you for approval. I’ll make sure to do all other decisions through you in the future.

@@LivingInCoastalVirginia Yeah, because of real estate interests, not necessarily yours, who want to expand way beyond Hampton Roads to pave over the whole state with subdivisions and big box stores. The magazine is nothing but adds and puff pieces which encourage just that.

Next time Ill make sure to get your permission before I do anything

damn. I suggest some fibre in your diet. Constipation isn't healthy.

crypttonite--Geez dude. Get a grip.

@@railroad9929 let me guess u just got home from chic fila

@@LivingInCoastalVirginiaYou’d be better off getting his permission. Guy lives in the dead downtown of a formerly great city completely hollowed out by urban renewal. Tragically, you can’t replace 200 year old townhouses, Gilded Age hotels, classic marbled Union Station, 150 year old churches, and Harlem South (which was a truly exciting African American entertainment and cultural district). All that’s gone, buddy. Your city is dead. Even your downtown Apple store and your glistening “McArthur Center” is wiped out!
