I have lived here my entire life! I love it here!
The tourists aren't so bad. We do get a lot of French Canadians who visit (one of out sister cities is Quebec.) There are the tourist spots, and the local spots to go to. Basically, stay away from the resort strip during tourist season (Memorial Day weekend to Neptune Festival, which is in the middle of September) unless you want to pay a huge amount of markup on everything!

Seriously, thanks. Yeah, I lived in ATL for a minute and I HATED the humidity, but it was great on my hair.  I can deal with that. If I have anymore questions tomorrow, I'll post then (I know that I will). |
Hurricanes are all talk. I have seen only two semi-bad ones in my 30+ years here. They usually hit the Outer Banks and die out before arriving here. Don't sweat them! I don't!
As for the humidity, it can be pretty bad, but if you survived Atlanta, you can survive Virginia Beach.
As for the weather, we have a saying around here...."Wait a mintue, it will change!" Seriously! We definitely have all four seasons, with some lasting longer than others. As for snow, if the circus is in town - IT WILL SNOW! (Have you been told about the blizzard of 1980 yet? You will!
)
I am sorry that I only found this topic today. Hope I helped! Feel free to PM me with any other questions.
