First review of 2024. I traveled to Chuck's Camera Plus yesterday, Jan 6th, on a very rainy…read moreSaturday afternoon. Chuck's is a used camera store over in Hampton near the Air & Space Museum and has been on my radar for quite a while. I haven't been able to get over to that side of the creek for one reason or another however yesterday I said to myself, "To heck with it, I'm going". Even though it was pouring rain traffic wasn't bad at all and I made it there in about 30-40 minutes from Great Bridge. Parking was easy. There's some limited street parking in the front of the building that Chuck's is located in and behind it is a free public parking garage. Upon walking into the place you'll notice it's jammed full of gear. Chuck's space is tiny however he's using every single bit of it to full optimization. There are two rooms. The front room is mostly used for modern gear which includes mirrorless, DSLRs, some classic range finder cameras, etc. The back room which is also called Chuck's Camera Museum contains older generations of equipment such as first-generation autofocus SLRs, older SLRs, and previous generations of gear dating back to Brownie Box cameras. There's a lot to take in. So much so that I came here to find a single lens and spent over an hour just looking at everything. There's an amazing amount of gear here. Chuck was on the phone with a customer when I arrived so I just started looking at the front displays while I waited for him. There's a huge assortment of modern Canon, Nikon, and Sony kits in the front room. The display cases are full, and even the tops of the cases are loaded with cameras. You can pick up anything on top of the case for personal evaluation, and test the camera, the lens, and the whole works. Once Chuck finished his call I inquired about the lens I wanted, a Minolta 28mm f2.8 for their MD mount series, and he brought me to the back room, which I didn't even realize was there. There were a couple of other customers already back there and Chuck pointed out the case that contained the series of Minolta equipment I was looking for. If you think the front room is impressive wait until you see the back room. It truly is a museum, and also a kind of thrift store, but just for cameras. Also, the back room is a tad bit easier to navigate than the front area. I spent most of my visit there checking out the museum room. It's just a treasure chest of gear for a camera enthusiast. Prices vary however deals can be discovered here. In short order, I found the 28mm Minolta ROKKOR lens I was looking for, and then I started looking at the vintage Canon equipment. I should NOT have started looking at the vintage Canon equipment and honestly, it took a supreme effort on my part to not purchase a vintage Canon SLR camera I found back there. I may still go back and get it one day soon. Eventually, I made my way up front and purchased the lens I selected and Chuck even gave me $10 off the price. I didn't ask or haggle, he just did it. After the purchase, he asked if I needed a bag and I said "Yes" as it was raining. He couldn't find one, so I picked up a leather lens pouch, put the lens in there, handed it to me, and said "Thank you". All in all, fantastic visit. Chuck was super friendly and knowledgeable about the product. He's also pretty jovial. I found the prices fair for what I was looking for. The selection is incredible. You have to see it to believe it. Easy five stars.

Both AM radios also have Short wave bands! Bill has even offered to build in a blu tooth Jack so I have the ability to listen to Old time Radio shows clearly! I may take him up on that especially if the blu tooth Jack can be patched to my tablet and pick up Sirius Radio. Bill stands behind his work and his prices are very reasonable. Best find just North of Ghent in Norfolk!

It's difficult to find great computer repair/support services these days, especially certified, but…read moreaccessible and reasonably priced, but I found it in Gus with Atlantic Computer Specialists. I needed a quick turnaround on replacement of a shattered iPad screen with damage to one corner. Gus graciously worked the repair into his schedule. He thoroughly explained the procedure and his paperwork; then set the expectation of when it would be finished, which was later that day or the next morning. I received a text that afternoon saying the repair was complete as stated and picked it up the next morning at his shop. I found Gus to be very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend his service & will be keeping his contact information handy for future computer needs!

That's another story, a fail to say the least. I searched for a repair shop and came across MRO and boy am I glad I did! I was very skeptical and weary about someone possibly trying to take advantage of me (money wise). Mike was very friendly, patient, likeable and even more knowledgeable and helpful. He took a look at my laptop and we discussed and laughed at my subpar repair attempt. Within minutes of turning it on he was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and why. He answered my many many questions and was very detailed about everything he wanted to do to fix my laptop. He advised me about what I should do based on what I'd be using the computer for. So many things wrong with my laptop I thought I'd have to just get a new one. It wouldn't hold a charge, touch pad stopped working, slow, s l o w, SLOW!!!! No antivirus protection anything. Whew. I picked my laptop up a few days later and I lie to you not, IT'S FASTER AND BETTER THAN THE DAY I BOUGHT IT!!! I couldn't believe it! I'm so grateful I trusted Mike with my laptop. 10/10 would recommend and MRO will be my computer place! Do yourself a favor and allow this amazing company to take care of you and your needs! You won't regret it.

Due to the age of it the owner Mike took the time to explain everything about it and how it wouldn't be worth the money. His honesty blew me away and was extremely refreshing. Instead of just trying to make a buck he was more concerned with being honest. Wish more people did business like this! Now that I am in the market for a new computer, I will be heading back to talk with Mike about building me one.

How excited I was to find Frame 'N' Art again! On my way to PT I turned into a different entrance…read moreto the Lynnhaven Convenience Center & there it was. In the 90's it was located in a small shopping center near Lynnhaven Mall. Since my business had been located very close, I decided to give them a try with some of my precious memories. Year after year I returned numerous times to have the business beautifully frame & mat precious photos & playbills from my son's acting career. My Music Room walls are filled with them. They made old family pictures into beautiful works of art. The store was filled with frame choices. Knowledgeable employees would work with you on the best choices for frames & mats. The finished products were always gorgeous. It was sad when they disappeared from the Lynnhaven area location, I assumed the store had closed. So no framing for me has been done in the years since. Upon locating the store in Lynnhaven Convenience Center, I was anxious to see if the framing stock would be as extensive. It turned out to be more so. And there was a larger supply of other decorative accents & framed prints available for purchase. One of my theater memories that they had framed decades ago had been knocked off the wall & the glass had been broken. It was from a production my son had been featured in with Virginia Stage Company about 30 years ago. I had continued to postpone getting the glass replaced since I had not developed trust in another store. How excited I was to take it into Frame 'N' Art for repair. I had hoped to pick it up today but learned upon arrival that they close on Monday. The location of the shopping center is the north side of Virginia Beach Boulevard just west of its intersection with Lynnhaven Parkway. If coming from the east turn into the first, rather than the main entrance. There is plenty of parking. This store gets my highest recommendation. They do beautiful work.
