I live in Seaford, Virginia. Which is on the east coast. I can see the Chesapeake Bay from my bedroom window. Historic Yorktown is 5 miles North and Williamsburg is 15 miles West. Va. Beach is about 1/2 hour East of me. I have lived here all my life and it only takes 3 hours to go from the beach to the mountains.

Ok let me think. We live in a small tourist town. We have had quite a few companies come into town to film movies. Fergus and Elora are quite known for some of the movies such as "American Christmas Carol" and a couple of others I forgot at the moment lol......but the way the stores look brings in alot of tourist. Its great to see.
