GL: Was: Chicago- Labor Day Re: Out of the Way on the Bay

[Peggy Carr]

I am SO glad you made it to Onancock! Almost no one knows about it. . . 
. we were stranded there for three days once and it was TERRIBLE!! We 
had to choose between the five gourmet restaurants that were open at 
that time.
Also, there are some pretty decent crafts galleries. . . .
Also, there is the hardware store. . . . what is it called . . . "Four 
Aces?" No, something about cards though. In the back, if you will wander 
there, is a scene from out of some past time with an octagonal green 
felt card table where you will find 3 overflowing ashtrays, 4 "dead" 
hands of cards splayed out and discarded, all lit by a single bulb 
dangling from a long cord overhead. Up front in the store is everything 
you could ever want; bandaids, Orange Crush, sledge hammer, ice, basil 
growing in a pot, Snickers, Cheese Puffs, "Valu-Priced" furniture, crab 
traps, Benedryl, Double Bubble, and more. If you ask for it and they 
don't have it, why they'll make sure they've got it next time you come 
in. (What the heck was the name of that hardware store. . . . )

But Charles, they don't have malts. So sorry.

I remember being there for the duration of a storm and the ferry came in 
from Tangier Island (brave souls, they went out on the second day.) The 
skipper of the ferry when asked told us, "Blown' turrible, ov'r 
Tangier." We stayed another night, for another gourmet meal.
