Remember when the Golden Horseshoe Club was in the Williamsburg Inn basement. It was a bottle club before liquor by the drink for locals and some Inn guests. Charles Cook was manager and Sam Roberts was a head waiter. Small bands provided music for dancing on Friday and Saturday nights.

Gas station on Capitol Landing Road which was owned by Mr. Kelly. Now is Sal's Pizza-Pottery was a great place to shop. Winter the town was empty and you could make it all the way from Toano to Wmsburg in 10 minutes there were no lights. Miss those days...

I remember reading comic books in a rocking chair at Bingley's store,. They had a pickle barrel and homemade sandwiches on loaf bread. The Short Stop Deli's menu still- probably unknowingly, memorializes those days, 30 years ago now, with their "Bingley's Style Sandwiches."
