[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newport News is also called Newport Nam for a reason. [/quote] It’s a bad town?[/quote] In many areas, yes, very. The subsidized housing areas have substantial violent crime and that school district has had gun issues over the last year. What happens at home spills over into the schools, just like it would anywhere else. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna64638 I also remember in the Michael Vick 30 by 30 documentary I watched it going into great detail about the crime, poverty and violence in Newport News and how he desperately wanted to get out and make a better life but his old friends pulled him back in over and over. It was like the wild Wild West so it had the nickname Newport Nam. It is not a sleepy, quiet town. [/quote]
