Tidemill Center, Gloucester Point, VA

This used to be a nice little shopping center. Now it's well, barely there. I remember there used to be a great feed and seed store there. I don't know how most if any of the shops are making it here. But if anyone has a bunch of extra cash and want to make an investment, here is a fixer upper that is for sale, at least according to the real estate sign anyway.

I would gamble a restaurant where the old feed and seed store was as it is big enough, but you are looking at some serious renovations. In 5 years from now when the county grows more, then this site should be worth renovating. Until then, ugly duckling is the word of the day.

Trailer World, Chesapeake Bay Nauticals Gift Shop, Gloucester Point VA

Trailer World is the official name of this business, at least according to their web site. What gets my attention is the Amish furniture. We used to live in Lancaster, PA and bought several pieces of Amish Hand Made furniture. This type of furniture is made to last a lifetime and more.

This site used to be an automotive parts store. When the competition moved in though, there was no way to compete. We have no idea if this is the same owner as the one who had the shop when it was the auto parts store. Either way, check out the web site for them here. Trailer World.

Whitley's VA Peanuts, Gloucester Point, VA

Here is the link to Whitley's VA Peanuts. This is a nice store. Great Virginia Peanuts and other gifts. In the event you have never had true Virginia Peanuts, they are much bigger than the stand nuts you get from Planter's nuts or any of the other companies that produce bulk products.

These nuts may be more expensive, but if you are a peanut fan, once you try them you will know why they cost more. They are worth the price. You can order on line if you do not live in this area, otherwise, just stop into the store and get a batch.

EVB Bank, Gloucester Point, VA

Here is the link to EVB Bank. I have never dealt with this bank so about the only comment I can make is that we appreciate the sign outside that gives us the time and temperature. We appreciate it even more when the temperature readings are correct.

Tillage Automotive, Gloucester Point VA

Tillage Automotive located at 1925 George Washington Memorial Hwy, (Route 17), Gloucester Point, VA. Phone number is 804-642-1814.

I met one of the owners a few years back while we were looking for a nice used vehicle. He offered us a more than fair deal on a vehicle that just came in. It wasn't tested or checked by them so it was an as is deal. The vehicle had a few more problems than I cared to work with, so we passed. But again, the offer was more than fair, so I have to give good ratings here. There is no web site, so there is no link to post.

Car Wash Next To The Gloucester Point Shopping Center

Right next to the Gloucester Point Shopping Center is a Car Wash. We always thought the water pressure here was a bit to weak and the time for the money a but to high. But it is a very popular place. Maybe they changed all that.

E-Z Pass, FasToll, Smart Tag, Gloucester Point Shopping Center

The present name for the electronic toll system for the Coleman bridge is E-ZPass with the link in the name for the web site. This system was started as Smart Tag, then FasToll and now E-ZPass. Have no idea what it will be called next week or what name it will change to after the next name change. Only thing that has been steady is that there is nothing steady about the name. At least it is faster than stopping to pay a toll.
