5 thoughts on “Cape Charles moves to relax “some” restrictions

  1. It was inevitable, the division between residents of Cape Charles and business and rental owners. People who came to Cape Charles to live (we bought a house in 1996) never dreamed (nightmare) that the town would become a destination for summer people. Now all news coming from the town council, city hall, and various committee put tourism above any other consideration (other views are not even entertained) To coin a cliche, the cat is out of the bag, the genie is out of the bottle, the train has left the station. So I say to myself and others like me “just live with it, it’s only 4 months”. Now for a final cliche, you can’t put toothpaste back in the tube

  2. I beg to differ with Councilman Benett! I shop regularly at the Cape Charles Food Lion and always find plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. They do a fabulous job keeping all manner of fresh breads and baked goods in stock as well. There is plenty to choose from among both the deli and frozen food sections. The staff is well organized and habitually helpful, also they practice cleanliness and appropriate social distancing. Yes, some paper goods run low BUT if you ask, the staff will advise the usual days and times for delivery. If the Councilman hopes for reelection he needs to become better acquainted with his District! If we in Cape Charles want to continue our reputation as a welcoming haven on the Eastern Shore, we should welcome vacationers, day trippers, campers, those who come by boat, and all other visitors. We aren’t a community of “hoarders” and there is plenty of food here for everyone! It was very distressing to hear Councilman Benett suggest othwise.

  3. Don’t understand bathrooms being closed what is the purpose are they supplying a sink in the portapotty they will be going outside

  4. Coming down in June for a week to camp have been doing this for years. Always treated great.some bad apple every where. This is the United states of America. We are free to roam. Spend money and enjoy the beautiful things eastern shore of Virginia.

    Note: Right on. Totally agree!
