Is anyone familiar with a rose garden near Yorktown Beach? Had a friend say they stumbled across one there, but they are not familiar with the area, so maybe it's somewhere other than Yorktown.

I couldn't find any information on this online; on the waterfront in the grass area right before the beach they cut down all the trees and set up a fence and construction stuff?

Anyone know of an inspection station that does immediate inspections? Prefer York County, but anywhere on peninsula would be acceptable. Used to be a garage in Hampton that you could be in and out in under 30 minutes. Unfortunately, they sold out and new owners did not do inspections. Tired of having to either drop off vehicle for the whole day or sit around in a waiting room for hours just to have them complete a 15-minute inspection.

Specially nice when after waiting hours, get notified that although it passed inspection, their courtesy inspection of everything else shows you should really replace this list of items and it will be only $1800. Maybe if they would have skipped the courtesy inspection and writing up everything that doesn’t really need to be done, I could have been out of there a couple hours sooner.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

They announced a sidewalk was being put in, they started construction almost immediately, and now the sidewalk just leads to nowhere with a janky pallet connecting it to Battle Rd. Does anyone know if they plan to finish/connect it to Old York Hampton?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a mechanic in Yorktown? I live in VA Beach but my car is currently in Yorktown and I don't think I can get it to VA Beach without being looked at. TIA!

Moving to the Yorktown VA area later this summer. What does everyone use for healthcare systems? Got lucky with John Hopkins in MD and Hawaii Pacific Health out on Oahu. Looking for a system for both adults and children if possible. Thanks in advance. 🤙🏻

I will soon be moving into the Yorktown area (technically Gloucester Point right across the bridge), and I’m hoping to find some people to play pickleball with! I wanted to see if anyone knew of a league or group that sets up games.

Hi! My Fiancée and I will be moving to Yorktown soon from Hoboken, New Jersey. Super excited! We are currently looking at The Clairmont and Commonwealth apartments (Renting first in the area before buying). What is the common consensus on those complexes? Is it as nice as they say it is? Also if there are other complexes or communities that locals recommend or avoid, I’m all ears! 2 working professionals with a medium size dog, in unit laundry is a must and a pool is nice, but not a need! Thank you for your help ! 😊

Anyone have some insight on what’s going on at Pop’s? The sign for Q Daddys has been there since they purchased but nothing seems to be happening.

Are there any groups that go around cleaning trash off of trails or anything like that?

Wasn’t it supposed to open in Yorktown in 2021? The building looks like it’s (mostly) finished. Does anyone know if they still plan on opening or if there is another plan for the location?

Hi all! I grew up eating at Subway Station in Newport News by CNU ( and the one in Gloucester and the one in Williamsburg, both of those are gone now ) and still go when I am home. I live states away now and am DYING to have the recipe for the house sauce to enjoy at home. You know the one, creamy but vinegary at the same time. I have tried a million recipes trying to figure it out, is there anyone out there that worked there at one point and time who can help me out?!
