Just wondering how many of TV residents are from Virginia? Mainly the Hampton Roads area? We are from Chesapeake and moving down the first week in August! And very excited! Maybe we can all get together some time and exchange "how we came to TV" stories.

We are from Virginia Beach, which area of Chesapeake (Greenbrier or Western Branch)? We moved in this April and are just now starting neighborhood activities. We are very happy and are glad we made the move. We would love to meet you. Let me know when you are settled.

Montclair VA...near Quantico. Va was good to us but absolutely hated the traffic and congestion in the area. When people talk about traffic problems here in TV...most have NO idea of what others face everyday.

Here's a link to all the clubs in TV. There's a listing for a Virginia State club that you may be interested in.

Bay Kid, we have fond memories of the then, rustic, Gywnne's Island, and the fabulous sea food buffet at the only restaurent, located at the Marina. The island offered a peaceful retreat 40 years ago.

We are living in Sterling Va (Northern VA). My husband was born and raised in Carrol County VA. We are also in the 20% but not retired yet and go back and forth. We met a lot of people from Northern VA here. We love it and can't wait to be here full time.
