Amazing site. Saved our trip! I’m obsessed. Need you for every small state. Travelocity should pay you.
May I make a suggestion… I read almost all of the blog posts in their entirety… and love your subjects! Traveling widely, I may come near some of the businesses you spotlight, but don’t know that perhaps because of small town names that don’t show up on road signs. With each of your spotlights, could there be a tiny map that shows where that business is located in VA… then I could better know which of my travels should direct me to your destinations. Would be so helpful.
You should try the pies at Spoon Dessert Cafe, Strawbridge shopping center, Virginia Beach, VA. Perfect!
