In 1608 - John Smith discovered this site now called Onancock , Virginia on the eastern shore of Virginia.
Very nice little town. A place to launch a boat easily, nice places to eat and beautiful Victorian homes.
old barn we passed on our way to Onancock
once in the town, we saw many beautiful old Victorian homes and old farm houses
A simple large homemade wreath on the front of this house - I like that a lot
Fancy scroll work or gingerbread trim, I guess that is what it is called anyway
next stop is lunch a few minutes down the road here in town
All we needed to see is the lit lunch sign in the window
a side view
I like the color red on the frames of mirrors along the wall with the checked table cloths.
The reflections in the mirrors, one that will never tire of because it's ever changing.
old fashioned cabinet like my grandmother used to have with the flour mill on the left that flour is sifted from into a bowl
Steve's roast beef and hearty
Every thing is prepared here , so good .
my favorite sandwich was corned beef on rye, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing
delicious!!!
Out to walk off lunch
more old homes
The waterfront and boat launch
Yes, another place I would love to live
Peaceful and pleasant
across the street from the wharf is this place
entrance - we got info about the area here and also a great dinner place.
stepping inside
a long staircase
memorabilia on the counter inside
thread drawers from the olden days
back to the middle of town is some shops
theatre in use. built in 1950, above the door it says "Best people on earth walk through these doors - our customers".
The other door says "If when you pass, you cannot stop . Smile as you go by".
