Well I just finished my first week of work out in Hampton and I really like the job.
The problem is the 4 hours in my truck everyday. I found a guy in VaBeach looking for a roomate in his Townhouse (friend of a friend). And if I do decide to move in there (barring something better coming along) it should happen next week. Anyone from that area give a few pointers about places to go get a beer..places to avoid...gun stores....etc. I can already tell that the level of fine looking women is much higher here than it is where I'm living now so that's a big plus.

I live at The Beach and like it a lot. My best advice is to live and work on the same side of the water. You don't want to cross a bridge to commute.
Waterside in Norfolk is a good place to hang out. A&P Arms and The Armory are good gun stores. |

Going through the HRBT daily will suck to no end, but it's still better than the four hour journey you have now.
The whole area is a good place to live too. Instead of driving, you'll already be home and doing something else. It sure sounds like a better idea to me than four hours driving. |

My job is in the Princess Anne / Military Highway intersection area. The guy I am talking to right now about splitting a townhouse with lives just off Laskin Blvd so it's only like a 12 mile drive with no tunnels. The biggest thing about moving is I want my 4 hours back everyday.
Right now by the time I get home its time for bed. Thanks for the input. |

Once you get here I'm sure you'll find the A&P gun range off Lynnhaven There's a so called "Irish Pub" called O'Sullivans somewhat across the street by Toys R US. Cheap pitchers during happy hour. I usually end up there after a fun day at the range. Welcome.

This is a great area for shooting. With the warmer weather coming up it makes trips to the Pungo range awesome. Places with good looking women include Catch 31 at the oceanfront - 31st and Atlantic, Croakers, Hot Tuna(younger). Great new restaurant opened recently called Isla on Great Neck Road. Food is incredible. Good luck on your move!

For my internship I do that, or more. Richmond to DC on my breaks. You kinda sorta get used to it. The trick is to have good music, a fuel efficient car, and a caring boss that lets you schedule around traffic (I get to work at 1000 and leave at 1800). catuela, sell the truck and get something cheap that sips gas. |

Found an old friend from Highschool that is a police officer down here and moved in yesterday. Living right on Pacific like 50yds from the water.
I'm looking into a different vehicle I just need to get settled a little first before I can really get into it too much though. Thanks for the input everyone. I think I'm going to like it here. Guess I'll see you guys at A&P soon. -Will |

Oh, I thought you said your job was in Hampton.
Well, wherever you work, welcome to the area! |

heh, guess I did say Hampton.
I moved most my stuff down yesterday including all my guns and ammo and shooting gear. I have never been so paranoid about leaving my truck in a 7-11 parking lot for 5 minutes in my whole life. |
