One of our favorite stops so far. They call themselves the City of Hospitality, and it couldn’t be more true. It is a lovely old City, at the southern edge of the Dismal Swamp. The City provides free dockage, the people are friendly and inviting, and the ex-Mayor and folks from the Visitors Center host a wine and cheese reception several times a week to great cruiser who have stopped. Sadly, many of the local businesses are no longer open and the downtown, while filled with many lovely older buildings, has lost many businesses and restaurants. We truly hope that the downtown area turns around soon. See below for the story of the Rose Buddies, a story we have been hearing for years and we are grateful to have come and experienced it for ourselves.
