Wal Mart Shoppers Treated To Smoke Sewer Test Today





Shoppers at the Gloucester Wal Mart and Home Depot were treated to a smoke sanitation sewer test this morning at about 10:15 AM until about 11:30 AM, June 18th, 2010. The test looked like smoke bombs going off all over the place and the stench was pretty bad. I for one question the safety of such testing as one could smell the sewer waste and it gave me a sore throat despite the fact I never went into the direction the smoke was blowing. If one can smell the sewer waste, then a certain amount of waste contamination is entering the atmosphere.

Chase The Rainbow



Last week while we were out taking a series of photographs, we caught this magnificent rainbow that went from Gloucester, across the river, all the way to Yorktown. What we didn't find were any leprechaun's or a pot of gold. Maybe next time.

Summer Girl, 72 Ft Ship Goes Up In Smoke


We were shocked this week when we saw the new edition of the Gazette - Journal newspaper. On the front cover of the paper is a picture of Summer Girl, a 72 foot long ship that went up in blazes on Monday. We were at the Marina on Saturday and this ship had caught our eye along with a few others. We took a series of pictures of the ships that had our fancy. The above slide show starts out with pictures of Summer Girl so you can see what she looked like before the fire.

She was listed as having been from Smithfield, Virginia. Even though she was an older ship, she was still a beauty and well maintained. The 35 foot sport boat next to her we did not photograph but we did get pictures of the ship on the other side of her which was the Lazzara. That was my pick for the day as my favorite little Yacht. Our condolences to the owner(s) of this ship.

VSO To Play Gloucester County Concert May 15th, 2010


Hey everyone. The Virginia Symphony orchestra is scheduled to play here this weekend, Saturday, May 15th, 2010 up by the courthouse. The concert begins at 8:00 PM, so bring your own chairs or blankets. These folks always put on a great performance and we go see them every chance we get. This rare video is all we are allowed to use. You can not film or record their concerts in anyway. They have been kind enough to allow us to keep this and one other video up on line because we only use it to promote them. There are no other videos up anywhere on line of the VSO. This is a great county event that we never want to loose, so come out for a wonderful time and show your support. At the present time, there isn't a known rain date, but the present weather forecast calls for a chilly but rain free evening. So dress warmly. We don't want anyone getting chilled.

5 Bucks Fresh "Moldy" Pizza?


This is an article I hate writing for the simple reason that I like the folks over at 5 Bucks Pizza. At one point they made the best white pizza in Gloucester. However, consistently for the past year, their $5.00 pizza taste like moldy cheese. It also smells like moldy cheese. I complained about this to them several times but they always deny it. The last few times we got pizza there, it made us sick. So we stopped going to this establishment and have been in search of a good pizza place since. There are plenty of places where the pizza isn't bad, it's just not great pizza. When we have to have great pizza, it's usually off to Yorktown. No one in Gloucester musters up that we have found yet. So our search is on. 7-Eleven's 90 second pizza isn't fully cooked in 90 seconds and is horrible. So that too is a pass. Who makes great pizza in Gloucester?
