Looking to move out to the eastern shore. I grew up in the mountains and neighbors helped neighbors…is it the same out that way? It is definitely not that way where I live now, took me 15 years to get my neighbors to understand what being neighborly meant. Some are still skeptical if ya offer to do something for them for nothing in return. For instance…have an elderly neighbor, teaching kids to help if ya can, went over to help rake leaves…took about 2 hours of our day. But they insisted they wanted to pay us…I refused…said “I offered, you didn’t solicit” so she baked my kids cookies…I think that is mighty neighborly.

Is that how living over there is? Not in a subdivision area, in the areas with actual land between houses.

Just bored and lonely by the fire

Was down in Onley yesterday, and was going to grab Pizza Hut for the family. When I first drove by I was an ambulance and fire truck. When I pulled in, I was a State Trooper showing up and what looked like a crime scene guy taping up the outside.

Anyone know what happened?

Edit: obviously I meant the title to ready “Incident AT Pizza Hut.” My coffeeless brain didn’t catch the autocorrect when writing the title.

Just curious where to search for cool shells and/or sharks teeth on the Eastern Shore... I'm at least 2.5+ hour drive away, would like to have a destination, lol. Suggestions appreciated!

Hi there! Does anyone have any experience with Nandua Middle School and/or Accawmacke Elementary School? We recently moved to the Onley area and the drive to their current school (Holly Grove) is brutal. I have heard mixed if not outright negative reviews on Eastern Shore public schools but Nandua Middle and the elementary school seem to get pretty favorable reviews. My kids are very good students and pretty well rounded. I am mainly wanting to know how academics are for kids who want to study and do well and how safety/bullying is. Any insight is so appreciated and thank you!

Any jobs y’all may have or may know with flexible hours during school year? I’m going into one of my last years in HS, i’d like a job that pays me fairly, while letting me enjoy being a teen by doing sports and stuff. I can do pretty basic stuff, clean, take care of animals, Gardening, landscaping, basic teenage stuff!

any sellers in the area of exmore

Hi. I’m a Chesapeake resident and lifelong Tidewater resident. I want to take my kids on a drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and was wondering what (if any) cool attractions there are on the Eastern Shore near the bridge tunnel. Thanks!

Basically just as the title says. Wondering if anyone on the shore wants to or knows of a place on the shore where people do play?

Will be staying at Harborton all week next week. Where is the best place for live crabs (a bushel) and local fresh fish?

I'm having some trouble finding someone to help clean my house 1-2 times a month. Does anyone have a recommendation? A lot of the local people have either stopped or have too many clients.

Thanks.

Hey there, I’m on the hunt for some local talent to play at my wedding this fall. It’s ~80 ppl in a backyard setting so no need for a huge production.

Any good bands y’all have seen around that might fit the bill?

Hi! My friends are getting married on April 20, 2024. In the morning before the ceremony, they would like to offer a nature walk that is guided by a local naturalist for their guests. Does anyone know of a person or service that they can recommend? Thank you so much!

The wind, sun and salt have taken their toll after 20 years. Time for a new roof. Our place is in Hacksneck, near Harborton. Any referrals for reliable contractors? Thanks much.

Any new spots on the Eastern Shore? I enjoyed the new sushi place in Onancock. Just wondering if I've missed anything the last year or so.

32 M just looking to meet new people or general tips about this place. Just moved here. Thanks.

Any one know offhand? Am planning putting in fruit trees.

Does anyone have experience with em placing culverts and road access to a small property. It is off a state route but I can see standing water in the ditch. Not sure if state, county, etc. do it, must permit it, etc. If it’s on the owner, would love to know name of a company that does that type of work around Highway 13 corridor near Hallwood.

Despite it being Friday the 13th, the sunset this evening did not disappoint. I do wish the shops stayed open later on the weekends, but the people are as friendly and the town as charming as ever.

Looking to move down to the shore. I'm in foodservice, but sick of it. Any jobs down there with benefits that pay a decent salary? Also if you own a home and had no debt what kind of salary would you need to get by on? (Family of 3) Thanks

With the exclusion of bars please! I also am not particularly interested in Chincoteague as I don’t like tourist season, but please feel free to share in case someone else is interested.

Hope this community isn’t ghost city 🙂

Thank you 😊
