You can tell the real locals because they pronounce the nearby Portsmouth as "Porchmuff." TK, you'll love the traffic in the Tidewater area; lots of water to get around when driving places. Lots of military installations and the lovely Virginia summers with plenty of 95F/95% humidity days. Actually, the old downtown and residential areas of Norfolk proper are pretty nice with tree-lined streets, but the Tidewater area is a megalopolis. Great access to various bodies of water, both fresh and salt.
