Suffolk

Suffolk, Virginia. Located in Hampton Roads (AKA the Seven Cities). The biggest city in Virginia by square miles, but if you don't know what you're looking for, you won't find anything. Plenty of things to see, especially in the country areas. The downtown ghettos are home to some of the best niche stores, such as tailors, furniture repair, and the greatest place to buy fried chicken, Feather and Fin. 25% suburbs, 35% ghetto, 40% wide open country areas. Pronounced "su-fik", "sufk", "su-fuk" or "suf-ik", but NEVER "suf-folk". This pronunciation is how the locals identify non-locals. The same applies for Norfolk ("nah-fik", "nor-fuk", but never "nor-folk"), Chesapeake ("chess-peak", never "chess-a-peak), Portsmouth ("ports-mit", never "Ports-mouth"), and sometimes Southampton (sout-ampton, never "South-Hampton). North Suffolk, also known as "Nice Suffolk" or "Fake Suffolk" have nice apartments, clean stores, clean areas, and a movie theatre we peons go to on the weekends. If you live in North Suffolk, congratulations, you're not full Suffolkian (not like that's much to brag about.) Accents here are primarily southern, but kids raised from birth in the Hampton Roads areas are generally fast, low talkers who don't have any dynamic in their speech. The word "dynamic" would be pronounced "dhi-namik". Suffolk doesn't have much of a niche other than peaceful (yet boring) living, but it's the middle of Hampton Roads and the rest of the 7 Cities are only a drive away.
