Spoken like someone who likes to chill with douchebags.


As was said earlier, Ghent is easily the coolest place to be in the whole 757.

I've considered moving to Ghent my junior or senior year at ODU. Probably not until senior year though, cause I love my current apartment. Norfolk fucking blows though, and whoever said Ghent is Norfolk's only saving grace is 100% true. Living right beside campus isn't bad for me since I'm just a sophmore, but I'm so tired of living on this dirty ass peninsula. And there are a couple nice (very nice, very expensive) neighborhoods right by ODU, that are on/near the water, but you still have to drive through hood-rat central to get to the fucking grocery store.

Ghent however, is really appealing to me. That's without seeing all the women in spandex, but I usually just go out to parties and what not. I know a decent amount of sorority girls that have moved out there their junior / senior year. The houses (that I've been in) out there are generally nice, and it's pretty expensive (imo) to live out there, so that'll weed out the possibility of 8 dudes from Compton moving in next door (yes, there is a house on the ODU campus that 8 guys from Compton moved into haha. It's a 2br house, as well)

Edit: With that, I know nothing of the bar scene, nor do I know much about anything else in the 757.

hockey is shit down here... chilled ponds has sticks and pucks (not a misnomer) a couple nights every week, $10 for an hour and a half pick-up session. I haven't been to ice land in years, but know a few people that are on a travel league that calls that rink home.

as everyone else has said.. Ghent seems to be your area; I'd avoid Hot Tuna and Crocs, probably not your crowd.

I'll gladly pay you to bring me down a case or two of Molson Candien

Coldaccord

I'll probably bring some canadian down. if you'd like I can bring you a case as well.

i talked to chilled ponds, i guess I could tolerate stick and puck or whatever. I'll bring my goalie gear as well and just do movement drills, I could do that stuff forever.

Is the adult A league any good? are there private ice rentals in the evenings?

here there is pickup hockey every day at 10, 12, 2, and 4 in the 2 closest rinks to me. then if I'm willing to drive ten more minutes there are another 3 or so rinks to skate at. as well as private ice rentals most nights.

I really hope I can find something decent

Not that I ever spent much time in Norfolk after work, but isn't Granby Street starting to become a popular nightspot? Seems to me like the downtown part of it is starting to get to be the happening area for yuppies.

Me, I like Ocean View at night.

Colley and Granby are maybe a mile apart.

Granby is a good place to go if you wanna be bro raped.

I'm not suggesting upper Granby. I'm talking about down in the part where each block has two cops on it. Looks like a lot of bars recently put up and such.
