Hague Water Treatment, Gloucester Point Shopping Center


Here is the link to the main web site for Hague Water Treatment. They have a regional office located at the Gloucester Point Shopping Center.

Cox Service Center, Gloucester Point Shopping Center


Here is the link for Cox Cable. for cable TV, high speed internet and or telephone service. This is the only cable TV provider in Gloucester County. Cox offers the fastest high speed internet service on the Peninsula, much faster than Verizon and much faster than any of the Satellite internet providers. We had Verizon but now we have Cox and I prefer the higher speed of Cox. Downloads are much faster as are uploads.


We just subscribe to the internet service. We stream our TV and movies through the high speed so we forgo using the cable TV and we use two separate VOIP phone providers making the cost for our two separate phone lines a total bill of only $70.00 per year. This gives us caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, conference calling of up to 9 lines, call recording without beeps, 911 service, free long distance throughout the USA and Canada, and more for that $70.00 per year. Not per month, per year. We used to pay nearly $50.00 per month for much less service on one phone line. Consider this another in the series of tips and tricks. The trick is to use Skype and or Magic Jack for your phone service. As far as TV goes, download DivX and there's your free TV, no commercials.


The Cox service center is staffed with very helpful and friendly people. They go the extra mile to make sure they take care of you. A rare thing these days.

Olivia's At The Point, Seafood Steak and Pasta, Gloucester Point Shopping Center



Olivia's At The Point, Seafood Steak and Pasta restaurant. No web site. Checked out the on line reviews and they were lacking. Only 2 does not qualify as a fair meter. Since we have not eaten there, we can't make any judgments, so it is on our list of places to try.

Ace Cleaners, TR's Tobacco Outlet, Gloucester Point Shopping Center


Ace Cleaners and TR's Tobacco Outlet both located in the Gloucester Point Shopping Center. We used to buy from TR's until the vendors decided what they would carry and our brand disappeared, then so did we. In fairness though, they have really good overall prices and a friendly helpful staff. Excellent selection of Cigars last time we were in there, but that was over a year ago. Neither one has a web site so we do not have any links.

Grand Rental Station, Gloucester Point Shopping Center


Grand Rental Station located in the Gloucester Point Shopping Center. Here is a link to their web site. The site is presently under construction but it looks like the plans are for it to be a very informative site. Ph - 804/642-5500. In case you want to see what kind of items they have available or to reserve an item.

5 Bucks Fresh Pizza, York River Crossing Shopping Center, Gloucester, VA




5 Bucks Pizza is a new restaurant in the Hayes shopping center located in the old Little Cesar's location. Not run by the same people or their old employees. The Pizza is by far better. The Pizza deal though is for a single medium cheese pizza. Add a topping and add another $1.50. They actually make the best white pizza I have had in Gloucester. The only other place that we have found that makes a really good white pizza is Sal's in Williamsburg.

When we went there and ordered some pizza's, we were told 20 minutes for the wait time. Not bad but it ended up being 25 minutes before our order was done. We ordered 2 pizzas. One white and one black olive. Well I made the mistake of not checking the order before leaving so we ended up with one white and one green pepper. So to avoid this issue for yourselves, just double check your order before you leave. In all fairness, we called them once getting home and letting them know the order was not right and they hooked us up for our next order.

I thought the prices were a little on the high side but then again, whenever I go shopping these days I keep getting sticker shocked anyway. But we were all pleased to see menu items such as Calzone's and Stromboli's, great selection of specialty pizza, hot wings and subs. They also offer delivery.

Coleman Bridge Stuck Open Today, Gloucester, VA

Here is the link to the full story at the Daily Press. I heard this on the radio while traveling north. Glad I didn't have to go across the water in that direction today. Looks like a lot of people had the day off like it or not. The radio report was saying that the police were directing traffic back off the bridge because they could not get the bridge closed again. The radio report claimed the bridge was opened since 10:00 AM and the paper claims the bridge was was closed and back in operation by 3:00PM.

New Rick Nelson Blog Website

In collaboration with a person who was a close friend of Rick Nelson and Helen Blair, we have just set up a new web blog called the Rick Nelson Insider, the highlighted name is the link to the new site. This new blog is a combination tribute site to Rick Nelson and his family, a site where fans can go and learn what a typical day in the life of Rick Nelson was really like and also a site designed to set the record straight where there have been some very questionable tall tales going around about the life and death of the late Ricky Nelson. Elsewhere on this site is a few news snippets about Jamie Fresh and how he had some tall tales about Rick Nelson. We were contacted by the person we are now collaborating with to set those stories right. If you get a chance, please visit this new site.
