The gal inside was super friendly and welcoming offering suggestions for local businesses to try and making easy small-talk with me while I browsed the store. She had a bunch of cute sparkly resin cups which I love and some really nice shorts and dresses. This is the kinda place where you can find gifts for others and yourself. Loved it!

My friends and I visited this adorable little boutique in November. While my friend and her husband…read morelooked around, I spotted earrings on the wall and made my way over. The young lady didn't make room for me to look, but hey, we're still kinda in the midst of COVID, so I made my way to an opposite wall where I looked at a shirt. It didn't have a price so I asked a second young lady, "How much?". She acted as though I was bothering her when she came over, looked at it, told me the price (without making any eye contact), and then went back behind the counter. That's when I noticed the first young lady, that was previously at the earrings, went behind the counter. The bell went off in my head, "oh she works here." It was at that moment, I said, "Let's go!" I realized they were both being rude and possibly didn't want "me" in the store. I was going to keep it to myself, but my friend said, "Wow she was rude." They must be raking in the bucks, so I'll spend my money somewhere else...and so will all my friends.

My favorite is the New Year Block Party, complete with a crab pot drop. But there's also block parties all year round for different events. Then there's the annual Blackbeard Pirate festival over in Mill Point Park and Bay Days. The Virginia Air & Space Museum also offers a lot of events for kids and families - never a bad shout for young and old explorers alike. Dining or Drinking? There's plenty of options in Downtown, with the favorites being along E Queen St. Marker 20, Venture, Brown Chicken Brown Cow, Taphouse, Musasi, and over on Settlers Landing Rd you have Bull Island Brewing Company and Latitude 37. There's plenty of residential options, two higher education facilities, and retail options - just a stone throw away from I-64. If you haven't made a trip down here, give it a go. Retail shops are mostly independent and offer a range of unique gifts, art, jewelry, clothing, pottery, and more! So shop small, and support local!!! Downtown is defined by it's waterfront, and of course the marina and piers. There are multiple garages (mostly FREE) and on-street parking spaces throughout, but better yet, on a sunny day, the walkable area along Hampton River waterfront is breathtaking and incomparable.

Granted a few racks were empty, while others slim to none, I still managed to walk out with some great finds. The fitting rooms were open, but I usually opt to try on clothes at home and if they do not work I'll return the next day. But today about noon, the store wasn't busy at all. It's refreshing to shop without bumping into folk whole pushing a cart through the tight aisle. Parking was plentiful. Checkout was a breeze. I checked out all the departments except purses and shoes. And I found something in every department. I love Ross! Something for everyone in here! I highly recommend this location. Have fun! Be safe & enjoy life ;)

She then tells me I have four items to which is her mistake because she realizes it's 5 items like I told her. I try the clothes on. I come out all the clothes in my hand. Ready to go look for more items and different sizes. I was taking all the clothes with me. I give her the piece back she says will you be taking them with you. I say yes she goes on to say well let me count them. Now I know for sure this is not protocol. She counts all the pieces and I left them right there. I've worked in retail you don't count the pieces people are intending to buy. If you are going to have workers that are going to stereotype customers hire new people. Maybe around 230-300pm. I won't be back.

Prices are on the low side. Ex. A pair of leggins for 10.99, or a nice dress for 24.99. Some of the quality on the items are low however. You have to really look at the item and decide how it will hold up before you buy. The sales associate are sometimes nice, and sometimes have attitudes. They look young so maybe that is why. I would give a higher rating if the customer service was consistent.

So with that in mind, here goes; The Good: The food options are pretty awesome. If you haven't tried First Watch, Park Lane Tavern or Monsoon - where have you been!? The cinema really isn't the worst, the matinee prices are great and they accept military discount so Tuesdays are a great excuse to catch a movie for 5 bucks. You can walk around and go in and out of the shops as you please; Victoria's Secret, H&M, Francesca's, Bath & Bodyworks, Barnes & Noble and Finish Line (which is grand for fitting you with the correct running shoes for YOU in mind, and offers 20% military discount). The Bad: Shops don't seem to be able to stay open around here. I've seen a few come and go over the years and it sucks. And don't get me started on the additional PTC tax... but that's a story for another day. So overall, not bad Peninsula Town Center, still plenty of work to be done though!
