Norfolk is a fucking shit hole, only spot worse in the area would be Portsmouth. Prepare yourself for the nightmare that is the hampton roads bridge tunnel and monitor merrimac daily traffic congestion. It can take up to 3 hours to get through it on a particularly bad friday.
There used to be a few neo members in the VA beach area, but none of them post here anymore. Only vaguely interesting game shops left in that region are cool stuff (used to be incredible, traded ownership and was nothing close to the same,) videogame heaven, and if the second flipper McCoy's arcade that was not located on the va beach boardwalk is still open, that's where they would move all the old school machines that didn't turn big profits.
It took me years to land quality work that didnt have me commuting towards that area every day when i was younger, so I may have a particularly strong hatred for the tri city cesspool that is the Hampton roads area.
