Green Gates Gifts, Gloucester Point, VA


Here is a picture of Green Gate's Gifts located at 1467 George Washington Memorial Hwy, Gloucester, Point. Yet another business I really know nothing about. They are located right by Carolina BBQ so they are easy to find. One of these days when we have the time, we will have to go explore this shop. We found their web site so here is the link, Green Gates Gifts
Looks like it is a wonderful place to make a stop at and get some ideas for the home.

Nick's Spaghetti and Steak House, Gloucester Point, VA


Nick's Spaghetti and Steak House. Sorry, this is another restaurant I have never been to even though the word around town is that they are great. So we looked up their link so you can check out the menu. Nick's Spaghetti & Steak House

Being a big fan of Greek food, I saw the gyro dinner on there and will have to go check that out. I know that this has been a very popular restaurant in Gloucester for many years. The parking lot is usually pretty darn busy.

Carolina BBQ House, Gloucester Point, VA


Here is a picture of the outside of the Carolina BBQ House in Gloucester Point. They advertise buffet style on the sign so I will take them at their word. I have not eaten there but word of mouth says they are good. Don't know what I am waiting for as I am a big BBQ fan. My biggest problem is when I really get into the mood, we all head over to Pierce's BBQ Pit in Williamsburg. I never think of this spot. Well that is going to have to change.

As a creature of habit, we know what we like so we usually visit the places where we know the food is good and the prices won't kill you. Since we have never eaten here, we just do not know what to expect, so we are just going to take a leap one day and give this place a go. We will let you know once we do that. There are a lot of new places and places that have been around for some time that we just have not tried yet. I kind of feel guilty posting a place of business and knowing little or nothing about it. But my main objective is reporting on anything about Gloucester County, so that will continue.

Carl's Truck and Auto Repair, Gloucester Point, VA


Here is a picture of Carl's Truck and Auto Repair. I remember the days that it was Carl's Exxon and they used to sponsor the Coleman Bridge openings and updates on FM 99.1 for us locals. Hey Carl, thank you for those. There are us who still remember the old days. Then again I also remember the Coleman as a one lane on each side bridge. You used to come down, (or up), Rt 17 driving in 2 lanes and then everyone would have to shift down to one lane. The tie ups were unreal. God forbid you had a bridge opening on top of that.

Well we are very happy that Carl is still there even though the gas station is gone.

Stop and Go, BP Gas Station, Gloucester Point, VA


Here is a picture of the Stop & Go, BP, gas station that is the first gas station you come to when coming off of the Coleman Bridge. This was a major renovation as the last owners had the roof cave in on them from storm damage. The gas prices are in line with everyone else and BP gas is considered some of the best. I won't argue the point as to who has the best gas as I would just as soon not have to use any but then I don't want to go back to horses either so.....

I'm sure they appreciate any new customers that come their way so be sure to give them a big Gloucester Welcome and give them a shot.
