[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Norfolk is a hick town. I  would love the beach, but not anything else about it. I am from a major capital European city. I would go to Baltimore, but you should look at schools first. Perhaps Howard country house, Ellicott city and commute to Baltimore.
That is what I would do.[/quote]

I can’t even believe I’m defending Norfolk—it has plenty of issues—but a hick town? We have an excellent art museum, the Chrysler, and the Virginia Opera. ODU is not the best of the Virginia universities, but the faculty who live and work here are a well-educated bunch. The Navy element, which can’t be avoided, brings in people who have lived all over the world, and many of them decide to stay here forever. The restaurant scene is wanting in some ways, but has improved dramatically in the past ten years. We have some beautiful old neighborhoods with tree-lined streets and lovely old homes.

Norfolk people generally don’t like Virginia Beach, and vice versa. As a Norfolk resident, I rarely go to the beach here. I prefer to drive a few hours for a nicer beach.[/quote]
