| Williamsburg hospitals | |
| Yes, there are “at least two hospitals in town” but rather than including Eastern State Hospital which is a “mental/psychiatric hospital, you might want to change that to Riverside Doctors’ Hospital. | |

| Questions about Williamsburg | |
| This comment came in from BeckN: I think we know what to expect in weather (including hurricanes), medical facilities, restaurants, etc. All taxes considered, I think Virginia falls in the middle – not the lowest but not necessarily among the highest. We are going to rent for the first year to see if Williamsburg will meet our expectations. But will we find fairly new homes for sale in the under $225,000 range? What will the traffic be like? How is the overall COL (taxes, housing, utilities, insurance, food etc.)? Would appreciate any information from those out there that might have more current experience in the area (rather than our memories from 16 years ago). | |

| Flea Market | |
| This comment came in from Jack: Interesting. We used to live in Williamsburg when I was in Administration at The College of William & Mary. Colonial Williamsburg and W&M did a survey of people with out-of-state license plates and asked them why they were visiting the area? Both wonderful institutions wanted to know. Then Busch Gardens/ Old Country wanted in. Answer: Neither. 90 % were there for the giant flea market, Williamsburg Pottery and had never heard of the other 3 places! | |
