I didn't think Bazemore's was closed. That's a real shame if they did. I used to live on Magnolia Ave when I was very young so I have some good memories of that place.

They are closed. Went by there today to meet someone at ODU

Wow that really sucks. Hadn't they just done major renovation a year or two ago?

[metalman]

Yes,

Apparently, the owners had to leave town because of a family illness for an extended period of time. While they were gone they left the management of the shop to someone else. They basically destroyed from the inside.

Bazemore's was always known for it's unique/speciatly foods and products. While the owners were away, the product selection became less specialty and more run-o-the-mill and they started losing there customer base. By the time the owners cames back Bazemore's reputation was gone and there solid customer base dwindled, unable to recover.

It's a shame. That place was great and they had some great food at there deli. I went there many a time while attending ODU.

Do you guys remember West Side Wine Shop, too?

Bazemores was my neighborhood market when I was a little twerp living in Larchmont. It's closing is a needless trajedy.

and......UVA rules....my daughter goes there.

William and Mary is a great school too, just not as large and diversified in terms of academic programs as UVA.

How funny. KA is one the two frats that kicked off the W&M campus. That's the place I stayed at when I was in high school.

I drove through the New Town developement yesterday and I actually was impressed.. I was a little skeptical about it since JCC and Williamsburg have sprawled out immensly, but this project definitely has a good mix of residential and retail, more so than Port Warwick. they have a 12 screen movie theatre, billiard hall, several restaraunts, civilian services (law office, insurance, bank, travel agent) ect

I still haven't taken the family up there. I need to go and make a day out of it. I like Willamsburg.

I'm working on it. As I said, don't expect everything to be done tonight.

Funny how the Pilot had an article about the City Center and the DP had an article on New Town

Resort planned near colonial williamsburg

Colonial Penniman LLC plans to build 400 timeshares on 18 acres at the corner of Page and Penniman Streets, according to site plans the company submitted to the city this week. The Colonial Capitol Inn, which is on that land, would be replaced by six four-story buildings. The group also plans to renovate the Patrick Henry Inn on York Street, converting the two hotel buildings to timeshare suites. That will add about 90 or 100 more timeshares to the resort, group spokesman Jim Bennett said Thursday.

I'd think that tearing the building down and starting over would be a better option. Those fake shutters on the Patrick Henry Inn always made the building look cheap.

High Street project takes a step forward

WILLIAMSBURG -- -- Calling it a major milestone, city officials and developers announced the closing of a $9.28 million land deal Friday for the long-awaited, mixed-use development known as High Street.

Sounds like an exciting project for Williamsburg.. pretty large too.

I wonder when we will see some kind of renderings or plans of this development

I haven't been able to find any renderings yet but in the pilot this morning it said "construction is expected to begin immediately"
