Dang it!

Nope, VB was still tiny into the '50s and '60s. They were deeply in debt because their tax income was so seasonal and relatively high maintenance.

That's why they gobbled up Princess Anne County. It expanded the tax base and allowed them to take on even more debt on the backs of the newly acquired "assets."

The county got twice a week garbage pickup before being gobbled. After gobbling it went to once a week while the taxes went crazy. We didn't even have a library back then; Norfolk sent us out a bookmobile, at least to the nearby areas.

Admittedly, it would have been MUCH worse to have been gobbled by the city of Norfolk though. :/

Yep, I've got a freezer crammed with sandwich bread and sandwich buns plus a few muffins. Gotta add some cookies or cupcakes before the hot weather finally gets here.

I haven't had a chance to check there, but I'm very cautious of buying something like that without being able to eyeball it. I just got skunked on a recent ammy purchase, and I'm not in a hurry to get skunked again.

...lilac bush...

ours has survived quite a range of experiences but it could use some trimming now. i'm very allergic to the small of the flowers but also the sap so anything i do has to be done pretty carefully. it's almost 30yrs old.

Not as tiny as you thing but if you lived by the beac, you might have thought so. It still sprawls all over the place but the 50's was a big housing boom.

Sounds good.

I stick to the free return stuff. It not as described, I send it back.
