Onancock, Virginia

And before you leave town there is one 'must visit' place!
Or if you need anything while you're here. If you need clams for dinner,
if you need to fix your plumbing,
if your boat lost a cleat or
if you forgot someone's birthday 'til the last minute (even a kid).

Don't panic!
Visit The House of Deals.

I needed a step down for a camper electrical supply once
and no one in four towns had one. I know - I checked everywhere.
Then I remembered The House of Deals.
They had two of 'em. I wish I'd bought both.
Whenever I need anything now, I think of them first!

		Established as Port Scarburgh in 1680, Onancock was already thriving as a Native trading spot when the colonists moved in. I'll content myself with putting pictures on this page and reserve my comments for the blog.	Welcome to Onancock, Virginia (or 'Nancock' as the locals call it) As always, most photos 'clickable' for enlargement
		This gorgeous shot is by Patrick J. Hendrickson of HighCamera.com The wharf is, for the most part, very nice. It's clean and well ordered. And the sunset at the end of a stormy day was beautiful

		And across the foggy creek from the wharf is also interesting
		I love the old public houses and the old private homes,
		Some refurbished for Bed and Breakfasts some well cared for on the public's behalf and some serve as shops but are ill used and badly dealt with.	some in good repair, some headed that way again some maintained consistantly through the years and some being brought back to life
		And Onancock has a movie theater and a bank that looks like a real bank and churches, too

		The old Corner Bakery had the best donuts on the Shore some things old, some in transition and some sporting surprising new exteriors

		And Onancock has a little park that is one of the most appealing parts of the town Read the monument Read the monument and here's a monument to another resident who spent his life contributing to his community.
