Dear classiccaprice,
I see you are from Hampton. Do you know where Leicester Terrace is, in the Northhampton area? That's where my family lived from 1956-60. In 1960 we moved to a little tiny town about a half-hour from Roanoke.
My aunt still lives on Yorkshire Terrace in same area - just off Northhampton Drive which is just off of Todds Lane. My mother was the organist for Liberty Baptist Church which used to be at Todds Lane and Northhampton Drive but is now further out -- they built a "megachurch" about 10 years ago.
My parents now live in Yorktown, about 5 minutes from the York River Bridge.
From 1965-69 we lived on a little island called Gwynns Island, in Matthews County, which is next to Gloucester County, about an hour's drive from Hampton. Have you ever been over there? It's a beautiful little island, off of Route 17.
Our favorite place to stop on the way from Gwynns Island to Hampton was Hornes Restaurant at Routes 17 and 301. It's still there and still looks the same!
