  1. Directly across the lake from Croatan, the street I grew up on from age 7 onward actually. I honestly had gotten to the point where I am too old and crotchety to move, but I always told my wife that if we moved, it would be to this street because it's the only place in Virginia Beach you can get a sailboat. Everything else is blocked by bridges, either Rudee Bridge or Lesner. And a house came up. There's only 14 on the street, and with the Croatan lots, only like 37 total on the lake. So they never show up, and when they do they go instantly. I was still kinda torn for several reasons, I like our neighbors, our neighborhood (Shadowlawn) has more kids for my son to hang with, it was more working class but that shit has kinda gone out the window so not as much a factor as before. But the investment is way too good to pass up, and the wife and kid are pretty excited about it. I'm generally a small house person, but it will be nice to have more space as my son gets older, my house now is only 1900 SF.
  2. Yeah, similar here, until my son is grown we are pretty anchored. Though I hope to start laying the groundwork for eventual emigration at some point.
  3. I've always felt Scrooge was an underutilized gif. I'm actually closing on a house and moving in town in a week and a half, so my ass isn't going anywhere for quite some time unfortunately. I mean, on the water. With a dock and stuff.
  4. Dude the property is crazy cheap. You could retire there easier than any of these places.
  5. There are some gorgeous mountain towns, but one requirement I have is water access, either big lake or ocean. Which always circles me back to the Alps. There's like Coeur d'Alene, but it can't compete on the food and wine front.
  6. C-? Granted I only watched bits and pieces of the first half while flipping around but I'd grade it more Pop Warner than any college level letter grade. That shit was horrific.
  7. Yeah, I'm just surprised I can't place it at all. I remember "I'm Here for the Party" very clearly, but this one, nada. This is also the time where country music really started to lose me, so there's that.
  8. It's funny, because I remember her very clearly, but I have absolutely zero recollection of that song, which apparently was a #1 hit.
  9. Nice finish from Eddie Dunbar!
  10. I miss a good old fashioned Satanic Panic
  11. It must be Telecaster season, I picked up my '88 Tele unprovoked for the first time in like a year last week
  12. Dick Cheney voting for a Democrat is not something I ever thought I would see in my life.
  13. Not here. The biggest draw to being a firefighter here is the schedule.
  14. I've come to be of the opinion that people clinging to and fetishizing military style weapons has to be the most bizarrely American thing ever.
  15. My tailor is coming to your town as well this fall, October 6th. https://henrypoole.com/trunk-shows/
  16. I don't consider myself a genius by any stretch but that was me. My high school GPA was 2.8, 0 percent average for homework, 98 or so for tests. Got a scholarship to CofC behind testing scores too.
  17. IG is pretty much the only social media app I use anymore, but I will click over to threads every now and again.
  18. Nationally, yes it's not as red, but on the ground here it seems much redder than last time. Not statewide either, but just in district 2. My conversations with the local apparatus and hangers on have had the same tenor. The Trump paraphernalia is probably double this year vis a vis any other election, 20 foot tall billboards, custom painted Cigarette boats, a bunch of wild shit. And Smasal did not get a hell of a lot of money.
  19. Not anything scientific but I'd be shocked if Cotter Smasal wins. Which sucks as I like her, and voted for her in the primary, but Virginia Beach seems like a super red environment right now.
  20. Just do what we did and buy an average one. As mentioned fridges convey probably half the time? The one in the house we are buying is staying so we got a Samsung on Labor Day sale to replace our built in which is on it's last legs.
