Thanks, Tony!! Appreciate you watching!

Ft. Monroe is an ancient star fort. Look up star forts on KZread...they are absolutely fascinating!!

Having lived in both cities, I found Newport News to be enjoyable. Hampton does lack something

Buckroe Beach is great but it needs more amenities, just like he says.

Hey, Sam. Lifelong Hampton resident here - 65+ years. You described it perfectly - meh. Grew up going to Buckroe Beach (on the Chesapeake Bay) all summer. I haven't been swimming there in many decades; after late June mid-July, be prepared to deal with a lot of stinging nettles - a lot - people not from here usually call them jelly fish, but ouch. I assume it has something to do with water temps and/or salinity. And, actually, this applies to everywhere you can swim on the Peninsula. For a looong time I've only swam at Virginia Beach (on the Atlantic Ocean - I really like the 54th Street area away from the madding crowds) and I've never seen stinging nettles there - ever - even later in the season when the ocean is as warm as bath water - thank you Gulf Stream!! Re: our "weird shaped performing centers" - it's because they're old! They were cool back when they were built; the Coliseum opened in 1970; first official event, the grand opening included a Jack Benny appearance. Yes, Jack Benny. There was one event before that - a concert with a group called The Association. Your grandparents will remember Jack Benny; your parents will remember The Association. You, you young pup, have no idea who either of those are. LOL And, yes, the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel backs up ALL THE TIME. Love your channel, Sam. Cheers, Cliff

Cliff, your comments are the best! And believe it or not, I definitely know who Jack Benny and The Association are! I was raised on quite a bit of variety of genres and time periods so many of my favorite shows growing up ranged anywhere from Laurel and Hardy to Andy Griffith to Columbo. I had no idea Jack Benny was at the first concert at the Coliseum!

Do you recommend moving to Hampton ?

I use to live in newport news but i moved to hampton its not that ba and i like the school but i do go in newport news :)

From Seattle to here; Newport News despite the suckiest road(s) via skateboard

Have lived in both (grew up in Buckroe). Schools in both are awful. If you move here with kids, plan on private school in your budget.

I was looking up crime shows from Newport News and this channel popped up

Hey Sam, what area or community is fairly nice, safe and reasonably priced for 3 to 4 bdrm apt or house near Ft Eustis Army base? With traveling less than 30 minutes to the base each day. What are the neighborhoods in that area and how would you rank them for above? No wooded, or isolated area. Moving from Illinois to Virginia.

Your best bet is Yorktown or Williamsburg. Hampton, Newport News is really bad and has high crime.

Not much nice about Hampton. Buckroe has folks putting out some serious cheese for them houses, but that area is like a cheap B-rated Oceanview

Sam I live here in NN for 30 years. My daughter works got 1 kid but can't put her name on housing. Another thing they put it in the paper maybe every other yr. Then they have to call on a phone all day to speak to someone about an application. This is the most control Un fair system I have ever seen. The thing I don't like the people won't contact the mayor or the right official that can change this system. Just saying thanks

Hampton is ragged. I stay in Newport News and yes it is a tough town, but Hampton is a bit rough and just too rundown. I can't stand Hampton

Absolutely depends on a variety of factors. If you want to be in an area with more to do I would lean Newport News as you're closer to things like City Center and the west side, which is nice with museums and nature/trails (Noland Trail is nice, if you like outdoor stuff). But since you're going to be working on the eastern side of Hampton I would check it out first just because it's so close to you and the drive to Newport News isn't too far anyway. I would try Hampton first but wouldn't eliminate either. I would also include York County/Williamsburg depending on your budget and how much of a commute you're ok with.

Fox Hill or Michael’s Wood area of Hampton. Phoebus is deep Hampton so the commute from Newport News to there would be draining.

Anyone who is looking to moving here, look at this comment and those that follow. Just avoid Southeastern Virginia. Trust me, there's an entire coastline of beautiful country, but not here. Crime is rising since I have been here, and it was already bad when I got here six years ago. Just look at a crime map before coming here and let that help you make a decision.

NN always wins against Hampton.
