"The slowest Starbucks in Newport News."

"The biggest thing you can do to help is knock on doors or make phone calls."

"Shittiest service I've gotten yet at a HIE. The girl at the desk greeted us by saying, "Oh ... the computer says your room is dirty. I don't know what's up w/ that.""

"I haven't had anything off the menu yet that I don't love: burgers, grits, fries, soups ... And try the O'Connor Brewery's Red Nun, Green Can or Irish Stout beers. All are delicious."

"It's fall. Try a double-tall, two-pump white mocha, one-pump pumpkin spice latte."

"Here, the tourists are hundreds of yards away. The beach is perfect once you get away from the boardwalk and into the 60s."
