7 Cities: Great Place to be Single
-
3/20/2006
Living in Chesapeake for a couple of years was great. It is a great city with a lower cost of living (depending on what side you are on, I was living in the Deep Creek area). We had Great neighbors in our area!!! Even though we were living out of the metro area we were only a few minutes away from downtown Norfolk. The water front was a hop and a skip (no jump required) away and offered everything from Tides Baseball, to lots-o-bars, to concerts and movies. VA Beach was just down the interstate 20 minutes or so with beaches and bars wating. North Carolina was just a short drive south (maybe 10-15 miles). There was ALWAYS somthing to do, and people to meet! Having the world's largest Naval Base and an Army and Airforce base close by, the 7 Cities has residents from all over the country. There are lots of college students also. Not to mention all the FREE things that go on, like free concerts in the park in Hampton! Last year I saw Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band there for free. Now I would probably have to pay 18-20 bucks to see them live. There are also tons of parks to enjoy like the Botanical Gardens. Oh, and the Christmas lights every year at the Botanical Gardens and on the Boardwalk...you have to see it for yourself!
Needless to say, the 7 Cities is the BEST place to be single. Spring Break comes to you, it is less expencive then other metro-areas (ie, New York, San Fransico...), you have your own beach, if you love to party there is at least one bar on every block and there are so many different types of people you will always find friend.
