You learn to make anywhere "home", but this was a personal choice to live there for a brief moment after leaving the military. It was just suppose to be for 6 months of east coast living, but like I wrote above...I extended that a year. 😄 ⛱

    Very nice video guys. The editing and the contact itself was done very nicely almost like a professional commercial. I lived in Virginia Beach from 95 to almost 2000 and plan on moving back in 2025 after retiring as a Scientist for the City of New York. But in the meantime I love watching Virginia Beach videos to see what’s changed and what hasn’t. This video gave me the feel good vibes, thanks so much.

    Hello, I came here after watching your Tubing video…. (I’m going there soon) It was really great & I’m happy to know I can get up the hill without a struggle… (bad knees)
    This video is cool about visiting VA Beach…. I was born & raised in the area… 757. I actually love going to the ocean front. Especially the summer months with the different Live music & street shows.
    Many people from the area don’t go much, I love to go. Depending on the time of day and which end, it can look like night & day. That being said, in the evenings, I like to be down the higher end. That mainly applies to the Strip though.
    I honestly feel like I’m in a different place when I’m down there because many people are visiting.
    Many locals do come down for certain festivals though.
