These are just nice shopping places in and around the area. They are small
operations that have amazingly wide resources, often very knowledgeable staff,

big chain stores.

2908 West Cary Street, Richmond VA
23221-3516
OK, so it is over 80 kilometers (50 miles) away in Carytown in
Richmond and only shows 1 movie at a time (it may show 2-3 different movies
during the day), but sometimes it has your movie that you thought you missed,
the early 1900's restored theater is something to behold, the staff is very friendly
any time you initiate a conversation, the Saturday night playing of the old grand
theater organ is an experience, and 5 people can go for the admission cost of 2
people at most other theaters. New York Deli is nearby.
107 W. Carolina Avenue, Crewe VA 23930
Some
small newspapers can be little more than publications that filter the "news" per
their owners personal values and/or cater to predominant local prejudices. The
weekly (every Thursday) Journal is a physically small but delightful, well balanced
newspaper that has an appealing positive feel to it. It covers the local news quite
competently, and occasionally runs national stories with local impact.
"Down home" Letters To The Editor and the Echoes From The Past
decades-old-Journal-news column are fun to read. With a national subscription of
$27/year ($17 locally), it is a pretty good buy too. (International publication #: ISSN
8755-9463)
900 Cary Shop Road, Burkeville VA 23922
Not a "Skilled Nursing Home" but a retirement home for either independent
living or assisted living for elderly and disabled persons, or anyone wanting to live in
a retirement home who can use some of their own living skills. Also, Alzheimer's
patients are now being accepted. Largish, clean rooms, alert staff (including nursing),
very nice dining and activity areas, and organized activities, in an attractive country
setting 10 minutes from Burkeville and about 1 hour from Richmond or Lynchburg.
Very pleasant environment that you might be willing to pay a little extra for, but which
can be actually significantly less expensive in many circumstances. Definitely worth
checking out.
300 Namozine Street,
Burkeville VA 23922
This long established small business makes alterations,
sews clothing and curtains, even sews leather. Happy customers.
East Patrick Henry
Highway, Burkeville VA 23922
He has the equipment and will treat you right.
He might grind your stump in less time than it took to cut the tree(s) down. If you live
near Burkeville, it doesn't get any easier and more convenient than this. If you are
outside Burkeville/ Green Bay/ Crewe, he will travel within reason.
603 West
Virginia Avenue (US 460), Crewe VA 23930
This store is part of a
rapidly expanding chain and it is relatively small, but it has an amazing variety of
frequently used items, from clothing, household items and gifts to vitamins and some
food items, at very good prices. Local staff. Quick service. Dollar General Corp
has made a commitment to bringing shopping opportunities and local employment to
rural communities.
East Patrick Henry
Highway, Burkeville VA 23922
Great work. Fast. Reasonable $. Even if it is
hard to do, he makes it look easy.
