I was in Fredricksburg for about 8 months before moving to the Beach. I really liked it up there, but there really is a lot less entertainment. If you are self-entertained, then you may be good to go. I was also less into the street racing scene, or I should say, I wasn't able to find the hang-outs...my Z28 didn't attract enough attention I guess. Anyway, I think I prefer the Beach for the people, too...you can find you rniche around here, guaranteed...you may never find the people that you like up in rural NOVA...

That's my .02.
