1. Background Information. Norfolk (Naah-fuk) is one if the cities in the area of Virginia known as Hampton Roads, or Tidewater. This area is home to more than 20% of the entire United States Navy who, along with dogs, are expected to stay off the grass. English is the common language, and is spoken everywhere except in the 7-Eleven stores.

Norfolk's history dates back to the early 17th century, when STGSN Long and Captain John Smith sailed up the Elizabeth River to found Jamestown.

The Tidewater area boasts many varied and interesting things to do. Go to the beach and don't play volleyball; witness a crime in Ocean View; visit the stunning Elizabeth River's famous southern branch, which has been noted as the third most polluted river in the United States.

Other cities in the Tidewater area include Hampton, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth.

Virginia Beach is a city named after a waterfront area where you can't frisbees. They made a monument from a pile of garbage.

Hampton is too far, Chesapeake is too expensive, and Portsmouth is a dump.

The Tidewater area has, among its inhabitants, beings known as "wives" (rhymes with lives). Many of these wonderful creatures can be located along the pier as the ship pulls in. Still others can be found at local nightclubs shortly after battle groups depart the area. The term comes from the Latin "Wypussis" or "wet spot".
