The HooK Looks at Re-Store ‘N Station

Lisa Provence at the HooK reports.

I hadn’t heard this anywhere.

As for the owners, Michelle Sprouse says she and her husband envision the Re-Store ‘N Station as an environmentally friendly place— complete with healthy foods— and whose the motto will be “refuel, replenish, refresh.”

I’d love for the Sprouses to write a letter to RealCrozetVA describing what their vision is.

If you want or need background on the Restore N’ Station or the Re-Store N’Station or Re-Store ‘N Station.

It’s a question that is being asked around the country, in many localities.

So, I pose the question – Should we trick or trick on Saturday or Sunday in Crozet?

Further, if you don’t live in in a neighborhood that is great for trick or treating, where do you go? (and please, don’t do car-trick-or-treating! If you can’t walk from house to house … )
