    I remember my Dad going into Watson’s and chatting for hours while me and my Sisters played and sat in the front and drinking RC colas. And eating sugar babies. My Dad and Step Mom lived in Eastville. He used to take us to The village of Oyster as well, I even have some old pics! Wow, what beautiful memories, I will always treasure!

    Sad to see such a treasure departing. No more Christmas carols around the wood stove, pecans in the barrel, and any item you can imagine somewhere in the store! A huge part of what gave Cape Charles charm, not to mention convenience and geniality.
