Re: 2nd PMV & Trip to STX This Saturday - Yay! - 26 days ago
things are pretty good. there are still a whole lot of places where you can see damage. not every place has home phone/business phone and cable services. grocery stores are open and fully stocked. i like fusions, its across the street from pearl b larson. heading out of town to the east end. on the left hand side. they have a blue tarp as a roof. but the food is great. common sense pubby speee1dy - General/Relocating

I'm not suggesting that we give Governor Mapp a great big at-a-boy. But, I was pleasantlyby speee1dy - General/Relocating
Re: WAPA progress on STX - 29 days ago
thats the only way i contact them. sometimes they will call you within the hour and sometimes just an email back QuoteSTTsailor One interesting tidbit about WAPA is that they are very responsive to email if you report the problem and provide your details including cell phone number via website and totally unresponsive to telephone reports.
