Yellow fizz water by any other name ….

A Reflection of Days Gone By

Remember when we thought these prices were outrageous?  This defunct Liberty gas station sits on Route 17, just off of exit #133 in Stafford  County, near Fredericksburg.  I spoke to someone recently who saw this sign, and delightedly pulled up to the pump.  Only to come to the sad realization that the sign was a […]

By From http://fredericksburgrealestateblog.com • May 22nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Most people who didn’t grow up in Fredericksburg, as they drive along the Rappahannock River along Riverside Drive and Fall Hill Avenue, think they are looking across the river to the Stafford County shore.  In fact, they are looking at one of the most coveted parcels of Fredericksburg real estate – Lauck’s Island.

No Coke?

By From http://kybecca.blogspot.com/ • May 22nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Whenever one opens a new business a tidal wave of sales reps descend to propose just about anything you think of. Of course some you really do need, and others not-so-much.

One of the funnier incidents I have had lately involved the reps from Coca Cola coming by to set up an account with us. In their minds it wasn’t even a question as to whether or not we would be offering soda, just which ones. When I explained that we would not be offering any fountain drinks or sodas they just looked at me blankly. Something did not compute. They then inquired what I would be serving and I directed them to the Fizzy Lizzy drinks in our cooler. They must have stood there looking at them for a good 5 minutes shaking their heads, and talking to one another. No sodas? How could it be?
