Norfolk ( NOR-fuuk, locally NOF-uuk) is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. At the 2010 census, the population was 242,803; in 2015, the population was estimated to be 247,189 making it the second-most populous city in Virginia after neighboring Virginia Beach.
Norfolk is located at the core of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, named for the large natural harbor of the same name located at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. It is one of nine cities and seven counties that constitute the Hampton Roads metro area, officially known as the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA. The city is bordered to the west by the Elizabeth River and to the north by the Chesapeake Bay. It also shares land borders with the independent cities of Chesapeake to its south and Virginia Beach to its east. Norfolk is one of the oldest cities in Hampton Roads, and is considered to be the historic, urban, financial, and cultural center of the region.
The city has a long history as a strategic military and transportation point. The largest Navy base in the world, Naval Station Norfolk, is located in Norfolk along with one of NATO's two Strategic Command headquarters. The city also has the corporate headquarters of Norfolk Southern Railway, one of North America's principal Class I railroads, and Maersk Line, Limited, which manages the world's largest fleet of US-flag vessels. As the city is bordered by multiple bodies of water, Norfolk has many miles of riverfront and bayfront property, including beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. It is linked to its neighbors by an extensive network of Interstate highways, bridges, tunnels, and three bridge-tunnel complexes, which are the only bridge-tunnels in the United States.

Very quiet a
It's beautiful on the lake. It makes me appreciate life
Looking at people who need the care but don't have it. Feel that someone they can trust would be able to trust
No one stops to help them

Yes definitely, there are some amazingly niice people in my neighborhood. Families walking by with their little ones riding bikes or just trying to keep up while holding moms hand. Everyone waves and says hello , even stops to introduce with the perfect amount of small talk. My neighborhood is so close to any and every store or restaurant you can think of. And by close I mean walking distance, even when the weather isn’t the best you’re still close enough to walk before any bad western could even get the chance to effect you. And the biggest plus for me personally is how close I live to my family. Nobody is more than 15 to 20min away. I literally love where I live.
